Content Ratings

No Romance
There is no romantic content; Kaz and Claire's relationship is based on friendship and mystery-solving.
Light Themes
Kaz is separated from his family and desperately searching for them; themes of family separation, loneliness, and the courage to face the unknown are present but handled gently; the tone is spooky but ultimately reassuring.
Mild Violence
Kaz and other ghosts are in a liminal state searching for their families; some ghosts are scary or threatening; violence is minimal and the tone is more mysterious than frightening.
