A delightful middle-grade fantasy book, taking me back to the kinds of things I enjoyed reading when I was younger. I really enjoyed the world building based on Thailand, and the parallels to Les Miserables. I loved the agency given to these young activist characters, with their differing backgrounds, and while I found the messaging a little heavy-handed, it's an important and worthwhile moral of social justice. A straightforward read with great characters and a heartwarming message.
