I love this book for my self and then passed it on to my younger cousin who is around 11. It is very interesting and fun book with the murder mystery and the love interest there were no drinking, foul language, or inapropriate behavior in this book with the exception of the four girls being to curious and brave it has become one of my favorites.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Season
Parents need to know that this is pretty clean fare. There are a few steamy kisses and a little wine drinking, but nothing that will raise modern eyebrows. The spirited protagonist questions her role in society -- which might inspire interested readers to try out other books about plucky girls from the olden days, such as Jane Austen's novels.

Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about the protagonist, Alex. Would you be willing to trade your life for hers? You'd get to attend balls and wear fancy dresses, but your own mother would be trying to marry you off as quickly as possible. Also, think about Alex's statement to Blackmoor: "Men refuse to consider the possibility that women have their own opinions, their own character... Do you truly believe that those men will continue to court me when... they discover that I read the newspaper and enjoy discussing politics?" Is this statement still an accurate representation of how guys treat girls, or is it out of date?
