Agreed. I mean, my siblings are noe into Kids next door (which is children fighting for the rights to sleep late, eat ice cream and have awesome adventures against evil adults) and Teen Titans. As for books they are reading the Spiderwick Chronicles and the protagonist is not a saint. Kids may not go after evil characters, but, in my experience as the oldest of 8 and 2 cousins, they like a character with touch of mischief in him or her.

Stouffer fails at writing a main character aimed at children. What kind of adventures you can have when your main character wants to stay put and be a good boy?
