Very emotionally intense and heavy in religious and bullying themes for a children's book. You might want tissues for the ending.
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Bullying, Child death, Death, Grief, and Religious bigotry
Moderate: Cursing, Panic attacks/disorders, Violence, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Misogyny, Sexism, and Suicidal thoughts

I can always count on this book as a re-read to make me feel feelings. And it definitely hits different as a parent.

It's a very good book, it's emotional and creative, and really shows creativity and the author really can see through those kids eyes.
The fact that it doesn't really have a happy ending with Leslie dying at the end is pretty great, because I have read far too many books with happy endings.
I'm sorry if I haven't wrapped the spoiler tag properly, by the way!
