About
You’ll like this if you enjoy light, kid-focused school comedy with awkward social tension and big laughs; Not for you if you dislike unlikeable protagonists or want something more realistic, like Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life or Magic Camp.
Pros: funny, family-friendly; Relatable school chaos; Some great characters | Cons: unlikeable lead; Cringey at times; Won’t appeal to all
