A note for parents

This classic teaches powerful lessons about acceptance, friendship, and personal growth through the friendship between a troubled boy and a school counselor. The protagonist struggles with behavioral issues, social isolation, and self-doubt, but the story focuses on emotional growth rather than graphic content. While there are references to the boy's difficult home life and some mild language, the overall message is deeply positive and age-appropriate for middle-grade readers.
