I'm confused about why this won an award for kids ages 8-12? Our library originally ordered it for children's, I think because of that, but we changed it over to teen. But I think this has the most adult appeal? Late teen, anyway. It's not that the content is inappropriate for kids, in terms of violence/sex/etc, but the material just has an adult-y vibe, about like, being jealous that your older sibling has a better career than you and having to get a roommate so you can pay your rent? TO me this feels like a great readalike to [b:Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life|29800|Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life (Scott Pilgrim, #1)|Bryan Lee O'Malley|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348109012s/29800.jpg|30220]. I guess a lot of the humor is sort of gentle parodies of tropes of superheroes, in a kind of THE INCREDIBLES-y way, and that level would appeal to children??

IDK, has anyone talked to any children about this book? I'm genuinely interested to know if they would like it.

PS I was so busy being confused about if children would like this that I forgot to say that I DID like it quite a lot.
