Now look, just because it's a kid's book doesn't mean that it can't contain
facts, theories, and controversial materials. I mean, I learned a lot from

exactly what to do.
And Angel is entitled to his opinion. I mean, if his magic is more
powerful, he'd naturally be skeptical of the boy's reputation.
