4.0
Similar to Harry Potter (at a school, an evil force coming into power, main characters parents no longer around) but with huge focus on systematic issues, including racism, sexism, and homophobia.
I really struggled with the main character for the first half of this book but that is kind of the point.

Graphic: Animal cruelty, Violence, Classism, and War
Minor: Homophobia
