I really can't recommend this book for children. The "Strange Matter" series is a great YA series as a whole and fairly tame in its content, but this is one of the darkest books in the set and I'm really not sure how this is supposed to be a kids' book. The plot centers around a medieval Baron whose crimes of torturing, killing, mutilating and burying alive his victims are all vividly described. When we learn what his final goal is towards the end, it gets even more disturbing. Again, I was a big fan of Engle and Barnes as a kid but I don't know quite what they were thinking on this one, it's too dark for a YA novel.
