Is Stonewords Appropriate for Children?

       I liked Stonewords.  It does have some elements that may be scary, but what audience is Goosebumps meant to attract?  Kids.  There is an audience for scary stories and fantastic tales that turn the stomach!  I prefer something does more than scare and I saw Stonewords as a work that does much more because I saw resolution, not finality, but resolution in the end.
