  1. MY HEART IS BREAKING!!!!!!!!!!!
    (also, Jaden’s big eyes getting caught in the library is so cute)

  2. Oh, Jaden, my heart.

    I’m rather surprised that reading a book too old for her results in her being brought into the principal’s office since I frequently read books “too old” for me as a kid in the public library, but I guess it makes sense a school library would be more enforcing on what content is available to what ages.

    1. Yeah I imagine the school wanted to make sure their asses were covered from parents who might get angry at what material the child is reading.

      Librarian could also be a power tripper ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

  3. Yeah, even with fifty trips around that mean old Sun I felt the same way when my Mom got her diagnosis. We buried her a week ago.

    1. I’m very sorry for your loss and hope you have time to properly mourn and heal โค

  4. Beautiful work as always!

    Honestly this page makes me feel incredibly sadโ€”as someone who has worked at a library, even age-restricted materials are still permitted for, at least, reading within the library, even if a kid canโ€™t check them out. This librarian is completely out of line and punishing Jaden not for breaking a rule (Jaden hasnโ€™t tried to take the book from the library), but for โ€œdisrespectโ€ (not following โ€œplease put it back where you found itโ€). I get, narratively, why this scene plays out this way, but I always feel a little sad when librarians in pop culture are obedience-obsessed guards of knowledge

    1. Thank you!
      I completely understand where you’re coming from. She definitely wasn’t meant to represent all librarians and is much more of a product of school faculty letting power over children go to their heads. That’s why on CH10P4 Jaden has a much more positive experience at a public library (Even if a librarian is never shown).

  5. Goddddd FUCK those librarians that used to get mad and yell at kids who were trying to read above level!!
