Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The book keeps its focus squarely on Alexander’s bad day, with no forced identity politics or out-of-place messaging. Characters are memorable for their personalities, not their demographic traits. This is about as non-woke as children's literature gets.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family life, school, and childhood frustration form the core themes. There’s no subversion of traditional values, religion, or morality. Parental roles remain familiar and there's nothing remotely resembling cultural revisionism or anti-traditional sentiment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s absolutely no sign of ideological messaging, let alone monoculture. The book is simply about a child’s relatable frustrations, and it avoids making subtle or overt commentary on any modern social issues. It’s refreshingly apolitical.
