Moderate: Excrement and Homophobia
Minor: Confinement and Vomit
There's some censored references to profanity. Some cacti "give them the finger". Divorce is a big part of the book, which might scare some kids (even if it's growing increasingly normal). For "confinement", Mickey is briefly stuck in a dungeon cell. Homophobia consists of the boyfriend of the protagonist's older sister using "gay" as an insult towards Mikey, which he hates enough to erase from existence using the Anti-Book. While it's vague and not delivered in-the-moment, it does pop up enough to put into "moderate".
