Not a Graded Reader
This book promises that it is easy to read and understand, which makes it sound like it's a graded reader. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The stories contain all sorts of difficult grammar, up to JLPT N1, and also difficult vocabulary. They seem to be easy to understand because there are lots of vocabulary hints in English and also full translations of the stories. But if you really want to use these stories to study Japanese grammar, and if you want to fully understand what's going on in the Japanese text, that will be a pretty difficult task. Therefore the entertainment level is quite good but the educational level is rather questionable in my opinion.
