Criticisms

Although the book is targeted for children in the range of 8–12 years old, some people have raised the concerns that the book is too difficult for the targeted audience.[2] Some adults have raised concerns over the content of the book. They have expressed concerns that the material found in the book is too graphic and obscene for children to read. Specifically, issues have been raised over the depiction of the first hand accounts found in the book, such as the descriptive stories of cannibalism during the famine period in the Soviet Union.
