The Problem Child

so-so

I found this installment problematic (see previous post about boys being mean to girls) for several reasons. Sabrina develops a magical addiction, an unknown uncle appears, psycho Red Riding Hood and her slavering pet Jabberwocky terrorize the town...meh.

Second finish of #AnyWayYouReadathon done and progress made for #BookSpinBingo

The Problem Child | Michael Buckley

This scene made me put down the book and have a whole talk with kiddo about consent, “boys will be boys” bullshit, and it never being ok to buy into the “he‘s being mean because he likes you” toxic mindset. I‘ve seen it coming (it‘s a reread but she was too young to remember) and this was the boiling point. Let‘s stop normalizing abuse and bullying, ok? And hold everyone (boys/girls/adults) accountable for their behavior.

Context below:

ravenlee Puck, aka Robin Goodfellow/the Trickster King, is a perpetual 11-year-old who enjoys scatalogical humor and harmful pranks. So far he has dunked Sabrina in a vat of buttermilk and glue, drawn on her face with permanent market, released a tarantula in her bed, harassed her at school (and encouraged a widespread bullying campaign!), and more. He‘s come to the rescue occasionally, but he‘s also just awful. But it‘s ok - because he just likes her! 😡 3y

I died when Puck kissed Sabrina. It was weird an awkward but I Ioved it. I highly recommend this book. I just cannot believe Puck is dieing now. Makes me cry.
