My children love listening to Audiobooks in the car. Do you think this would be okay for a 4 and 7 year old to listen to?
Emma M. There are a few scenes that are not necessarily scary, but are a lot darker. A lot of the storyline will most likely be lost on young children as well…moreThere are a few scenes that are not necessarily scary, but are a lot darker. A lot of the storyline will most likely be lost on young children as well. I’d recommend you pick another book. This book is good for 11 and older (less)

Liesl's address is 31 Highland Avenue, Dirge.

I don't think it mentions what country, but I would guess on the Northeastern coast of the US.

At first, I was thinking somewhere in the United States, or in England, but details from the book--along with the fact that the author was born in New York, New York--make me think it is more likely set in America.

The book mentions that the sea lies to the East and the South. Mo, the guard, is made fun of by his coworkers for preferring hot chocolate over coffee. Mr. Gray also uses an empty coffee container. If it were England, I would think it would mention tea. (I'm sure coffee is popular there now, but the book mentions using oil lamps and lanterns, as well as traveling by train and vehicles drawn by horses and donkeys--so it is not contemporary.)(less)
