It seems precisely written for this age group but is still entertaining to those of us much older. I have to disagree with some of the other responses as I didn't find the violence to be very graphic at all. I have seen much worse on network crime dramas on TV. I also found it hopeful in that, even though there were certainly other characters that didn't like young Fitz and tended to mistreat him, he was always able to overcome the obstacles they put in front of him and maintained a good attitude through everything.(less)
