About This Book
Here’s a secret: sometimes, children do things that adults can hardly imagine. What happens when the law and people try to make sense of such shocking events? But that’s only the beginning.
Themes
Quick Assessment
This book explores the complex and sensitive topic of child-on-child homicide by comparing responses from the English and Norwegian criminal justice systems, focusing on two real-life cases. Suitable for mature middle-grade readers (ages 9-12), it involves discussions of violence and justice that may require parental guidance. The content thoughtfully addresses social and emotional themes but contains some intense material related to crime and its societal impact.
