In the first inning of the book its starts with a young boy from Germany named Felix.

Not great role models, not great messages, very cheap laughs, not genuine comedy, and Not appropriate for younger teens.

The breakneck dialogue, the unpredictable visual gags, and the scathing yet ultimately forgiving insight into the characters isn't there, and based on the first three screeners sent to critics, that's because of the format.
