This particular genre of Drama has received praise from visual literacy and critical reading professor Meryl Jaffe. The graphic novel genre of Drama is also praised by college librarian Eti Berland, who contends that the use of the graphic novel style allows readers to imagine themselves in the book. I loved how their interactions were handled; their conflicts were realistic, but they were nicely resolved in a way that I think is healthy for kids to see. Shame on you for not paying attention to what your kids are reading, shame on you for being so disgustingly close-minded and bigoted, and shame on you for teaching your children those same disgustingly close-minded and bigoted views. It also contained a lot of cliches as well, even the much lauded end things at the school dance cliche.

There is drama on stage and to top it all off there is the school dance in there to make sure there was enough drama. It let to some good discussions about how we could respond if a friend told her they were gay and how we would still be friends with that person and respect them. In any case, I'm fortunately able to remember high school as a time of safe and happy coeducational interaction for me and for my friends.This has consistently been one of the most popular graphic novels for middle graders in every school library I've worked in. His kindness is corroborated by many independent online voices of those who knew him throughout time and place.

Abate observes that the absence of discussion about race among students at Eucalyptus Middle School reflects the situation of many American millennials, in which they reject racism and embrace tolerance and diversity, but are also uncomfortable with actually addressing issues of race.
