There are some 'mature' themes throughout such as the dad dying at the beginning and the great grandfather dying but at 8 years old most kids can handle that especially understanding that it is fiction but they can empathize with the characters' losses which is what a good book does! The characters are relatable for my son, and he loves all their various quirks.

He has books 1-3 and has read and re-read them each at least 3 times! The illustrations are phenomenal, the storyline is interesting and creative, suspenseful, and has just enough 'violence' to captivate and facinate my kid without being inappropriate or overly graphic.
