No. This was ridiculous. Yes, it had a great moral, and I agree with the idea that it's better to use imagination and go outside to play with friends instead of sitting in a chair in front of a TV playing video games, but seriously. The white kid's family bought the video game! And they obviously wasted their money because the kids decided to play outside instead. Goodness. Glad I'm done with these now.
My Banned Books Week read this year. The series has been challenged not because of their content, but because of allegations against the author. This book is about how much more fun it can be to play with friends, using your imagination, rather than video games. It's a nice message without being preachy.
