I have a student (13) looking for a quirky, edgy read, is this suitable?

Michael This book is definitely quirky. Russell’s brand of magical realism effortlessly blends imaginative into ordinary life. I’m not sure what your student considers edgy. The stories here mostly feature teens and pre-teens dealing with growing up, sex, death, and loss in different ways. Russell presents these imaginative situations without offering answers or morals. That feels edgy in its own way.
