teebles's review against another edition
5.0
Once again, I listened to the audiobook if this one and it was stunning! The narrator did a fantastic job yet again at portraying all of the voices and narrating it in such an enthusiastic way!
This one took off just after the last one ended and it was so exciting to see the action of these kids with their “okayish powers” haha.
The humour in this story was once again on point and I loved all of the jokes and funny moments in this story.
However, this book also did a phenomenal job of discussing really serious topics such as racism and sexuality. I am so glad that topics like these are being discussed in literal children’s books and that these conversations are being normalised! The discussions about race were so important and I feel like all of the kiddos reading this are going to learn a lot as we have got quite a diverse cast of characters.
Also, the addition of discussions about sexuality in this book was something that I was not expecting but something that I really appreciated. I will say though that the “f” slur is used in this book (by a bully) so be warned of that. However, there is a really good discussion surrounding it and I really like the way that it was handled and conveyed a clear message of acceptance to the reader, which was really lovely.
