Aside from the age of the characters, this didn't have the impact I had hoped it would. I found the additional materials like the firsthand account and the authors' notes more evocative and informative than the main story. Still, a very well crafted work in general.

The story and characters are gripping, especially âJourneyâ at the end. While a work of fiction, there is a lot to be learned about the difficulties and trauma migrants face in journeying to a new place. However, it doesnât feel right to me that it was written and illustrated by 3 white menâŚ
