Parents need to know that there is some violence here, though it mostly happens offstage, including a father who loses an arm to an RPG in Iraq.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about protecting endangered animals. Did the characters in this book go too far? How far would you be willing to go? Should people go to jail to protect them? Should they be prevented from building on their land? Are there any things more important than protecting them? Kids may want to learn more about Florida panthers -- see Other Choices below for a place to start.
