About this book
Frequently asked questions
Is The Second Trial appropriate for a 7-year-old?
The story is built around a father's years of abuse of his mother, which nearly killed her, and Danny is later arrested for his part in assaulting a classmate; a School Library Journal review says most of the graphic violence happens offstage. The family fears the father, who is considered dangerous, and the old family home burns down the day after his release, which keeps a sense of suspense going through the book.
