Reach for this book when your child is beginning to question the complexities of justice or feels overwhelmed by the 'unfairness' they see in the world. Trapped follows Brenna, a young volunteer at an animal clinic who is devastated to find a dog caught in a cruel trap.

It is a perfect choice for parents wanting to move beyond black-and-white thinking and foster a more mature sense of empathy and responsibility.
