There are a handful of animal death referred to, as in a "you are not allowed to kill animals, it's not nice" kind of way. A bird skeleton is referred to, and the skull of something else. Neither of them are described.

One of the children talks about spiders when he's trying to explain his hurt feelings. He's somewhat graphic, and, like lots of things he says, might be icky to some readers.

In chapter four, after discovering something frightening, a main character struggles to breathe, hears a roaring in his ears, and feels his heart beating fast. He doesn’t call it an anxiety attack and worries that it’s a heart attack. Another character helps him through it and coaches his breathing.

The town is very openly and loudly disgusted by the magical kids. The allegory of ableist and racist behavior could trigger some people.
