Brb reading Dubliners to elementary students and making fun of them when they don't have an opinion on the themes of Irish nationalism and its implications in an ever more interconnected world.

This obviously has nothing on the complex thought presented by UP, of course. My 500 page thesis on its handling of grief (tl;Dr talking dogs heal all wounds) will shortly follow.

Compare Harry Potter with Animorphs and then see if you can still make this comparison with a straight face afterward. One of these two series treats it's elementary student audience with respect, and is widely beloved because of it. It ain't HP.

If your books need real world themes and connections to be good, maybe you should try improving their writing instead.
