these books are so fun to read as an adult because i remember reading books in the same vein of this as a kid and being so worried for the kids at all times, and now im mad that the adults are all so useless and these kids are, mostly, on their own

I liked this one a bit more than the first one I think. The writing style and humor is my favorite part. Plus this one had slightly less ableism, transphobia and pedophilia, but that’s about it.
I know this series is obviously purposefully ridiculous, but it’s so frustrating how oblivious all the adults are. I know that’s the point. I get it. But I hate it. I know this story isn’t supposed to be taken seriously at all but it BOTHERS ME lol
maybe it’s just my autism being uncomfortable with the chaos and miscommunication idk.
