The portion of this book that has more graphic domestic abuse/bullying is mainly in one chapter, early in the book. Bud (the main character) has a graphic imagination, like when he suspects another character is a vampire, and such things I considered "minor" but put them in the content warnings. But it is still a kids' book and nothing is too dark in my opinion; and several of these "minor" things will likely not be picked up on by the middle grade demographic.
