Concerning & Potentially Concerning Content

While not 100% clean there is little to be concerned about here, especially considering what is placed in most “graphic novels” that are targeting younger readers today. --- There are few less desirable terms we wouldn’t want our kiddos repeating: doofus, gone mental, flirting in the teachers lounge, lunch losers, troubled individuals, “they probably lead very boring lives”, “and nobody loves him”. These are often from a bully or bad guy, but unfortunately there are a couple places where one of the “good” main characters are responsible (e.g., “What’s wrong Milmoe? Saving up to buy a life?”). This is meant to be a part of being courageous, but it instead comes across as really being no better than the bully they are talking to. This can be a great example and discussion to share with your child. --- There are armed, masked robbers and bullies shown that may not be something for the very youngest readers, but it is all handled very lightly.
