I think this book is best suited for kids around the age of 10-12 so they are about the same age as Lea. I think that adults can also enjoy the story, but it's a middle grade novel so the target audience would be kids.

The story's blend of adventure, mystery, and personal growth is likely to resonate with this age group.
I completely agree. I also think that children that age whose parents are divorcing would be able to find comfort and familiarity in the book.

I would recommend this book to growing kids and adolescents because it is the story of the growth and transition of a young girl. Learning about Lea's emotional development through the struggles of her life would be instructive for sensitive teenagers. Also, the mystery of finding a buried treasure illustrated in the story would appeal to a wide range of audiences.

I would recommend the book to teenagers and those who love a suspenseful book. The book will help teenagers understand that they are not responsible for their parents action and that it is not their fault for their parents divorce.

This is a great read for young adults, teens, as well as parents. Relationships get more complicated as people age and when it comes to dealing with family, there are no accurate instructions, but merely stories of others told for our own benefit and admonition.

I believe children above 10 and teenagers will find this book useful. Lea's experiences will be helpful for children whose parents are getting a divorce or who are facing family problems.
