I nanny for 5 and 7 year old sisters. We’ve been reading the Series of Unfortunate Events series and currently are about to start book 5- The Austere Academy.
They loooooved the first two books but didn’t enjoy the 3rd or 4th nearly as much. They both want to continue the series but I’m concerned it might be a little over their heads/getting too dark. (They almost sawed a guy in half in the last book)
These girls have gone through a lot in their short lives and don’t like anything too rainbows and sunshine. I think they really feel attached to the Baudelaire orphans and their misfortunes.
Any recommendations on books series with a similar mysterious vibe/darker settings but age appropriate would be much appreciated!
