Lots of relatable issues for tweens, especially managing friendship groups and maintaining one's identity in the process. Pham and Hale manage to provide accessible metaphors for such intangible things, giving kids a palatable way to understand such stressful situations. The interlaced fantasy story is a nice bridge for kids that are strictly into realistic fiction or fantasy. Hale also provides further discussion about anxiety, recognizing its potential roots, and demonstrating that children can be affected by it.
