Parents say the book has captivated many young readers with its engaging storylines and complex characters, but it has raised concerns regarding mature themes, particularly around sexuality and body image, which some parents find inappropriate for children under 12. While many readers loved the adventure and moral lessons of inner beauty, others voiced strong objections to the sexualized content and negative messages about appearance that they believe could harm young girls' self-esteem.
