Outside of that, it's totally worth it. His racial denunciation is very important, but above all the author's ability to convey the frustration and awakening of his protagonist to the racist reality around him is revealing. And he goes much further and describes how the politics of such a situation are bent on maintaining it and making the most of it.
An excellent book that everyone should read at least once. 4/5

The premise is good and, surely, the most attractive part of the book. Bringing your favorite characters from the books into the real world doesn't sound bad. (Of course, as long as your favorites aren't the villains like mine.) Unfortunately, this premise falls short of expectations and, near the end, ends up being incongruous with the final outcome. ||(Because the author conveniently forgot to note that not only did you bring characters or objects into the real world, but they also blindly obeyed your commands as long as you continued reading. Which hadn't happened with any previously brought characters, but just worked with the last one no problem. Look at that.)||
Anyway, I think there are better children's books that you could recommend to the little ones. I would leave this one for when you run out of good options. 3/5
