We are going through the same thing with DS7 - he is very sensitive and when I picked this book up to look through at the bookstore, I could tell right away that it would be too much for him - too much violence :-( We attempted Harry Potter earlier and that was a no go as well....it is hard to find books that are on their reading level but are not too over the top with the dark vs. good that it scares them :-( Thanks for the weblink
