So what Trudi's only just turned five? Somehow or other she always manages to get close to the action. Too close for her own good in this story, as she ends up getting kidnapped not once but twice.

The book critiques humanist philosophy, arguing that it leads to moral relativism where good and evil are subjective opinions.

The exploration raises questions about morality, responsibility, and the consequences of a belief system that prioritizes individual entitlement over communal ethics.
