"Punish you? What possible good would that do?" This week we examine that age old concept. That being a kid can sometimes suck. This is very true in J.A. Bayona's A Monster Calls.

I was talking to Bianca, and she was saying that in her culture they have these rites of passages and rituals and ceremonies, and, just all kinds of things that, when you do them, go through them, let you know that you're an adult?
