Polly is a good character, and it's interesting to see how she is coping with her grief about her father, the effects of this on her relationship with her mother, and her growing friendship with Rex the magical stone dog. There is a little of what is often referred to as 'mild peril', but I don't think it was anything too much for bedtimes, and leans more towards action and adventure than scariness. It's a well-written story, and combines lots of different engaging aspects such as mystery, action, history and family drama. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next in the series!
