Hello, thank you for taking the time to read and share your thoughts. I just wanted to clarify one important point: there is no suicide in the book. In the opening chapter, the grandfather is caught in a fire at home. With no way out, he jumps from the top floor to escape the flames. It is a tragic accident, not an act of suicide.
I also want to reassure readers that the story does not contain scenes of violence beyond what is considered appropriate for middle grade fiction. The book was carefully edited by four professional middle grade editors, and it has been recognized with several literary awards. It also follows the guidelines of the Library Association for books aimed at this age group.
Since your review was written in Italian, it is possible that some details might have been misunderstood due to language differences when reading the English text. I completely understand how that can happen, and I hope this clarification helps other readers better understand the context.
