Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the book centers on a protagonist with cerebral palsy and highlights the challenges of disability, it largely succeeds in telling a compelling, personal story rather than shoehorning ideology. Still, there are a few moments where identity topics threaten to outweigh narrative development, but character and plot generally remain the focus.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, perseverance, and overcoming adversity are prominent, and there's respect for parental and teacher involvement. The book uplifts individual struggle within a supportive framework rather than undermining cultural values. There is very little subversion of traditional roles or overt critique of foundational values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The novel sympathetically presents disability advocacy and inclusion, but doesn't go overboard villainizing dissent or putting all characters in one ideological basket. While some characters serve as foils or obstacles, they aren't unrealistic caricatures or exclusively 'evil.'
