A classic and good for if you need a distraction from any of those shitty current events. Would recommend listening to the movie’s soundtrack while reading. Does contain one slur unfortunately.

Moderate: Physical abuse, Fatphobia, and Toxic relationship

Minor: Misogyny and War

Sponge and spiker, jame’s aunts, are the reason for the three moderate warnings. There is also

people reacting to what they believe to be a bomb threat, and some serious toxic patriarchy vibes from the cloud man society

Really nostalgic experience. I loved the film growing up (I don't think it gets talked about enough), so reading this just reminded me of so much of the stuff that happened. I will say, for a book that included facts about insects and tried to disprove false information, having a maneating rhino... like okay??????? Nevertheless, it was a nice quick read.
