Wow, thank you for pointing this out. I had recently bought the book for my child and am very shocked by that story. It brings out a problem for parents of children who love reading, sometimes we buy books and just because it’s from a sefarim store and written by a frum author, we trust that the book is safe and don’t check it thoroughly as we would a secular book. There are certain passages in that story which actually sound like they are promoting pill usage and are reminiscent of another culture. I think it calls for a discussion with my child, who has already read the book, to make sure an inappropriate message was not conveyed.
