5.0

A modern (and timely) fable and love letter to the importance of books and education that doesn't forget to also tell an engaging and inspiring story, deftly balancing humor and tragedy. The Spike Lee-esque epilogue hammers its underlying theme home, the only time it explicitly tips its hand that it's written to be accessible to younger teens, too.
