This was an adventurous story with realism and fantasy mixed together. I enjoyed the growth in the three main characters and would recommend this book to anyone that likes a good story!

I listened to this and really liked the narrator.

I read this because it was for a class I was volunteering in and I liked the summary. But this is easily one of the best books I’ve read. I read this on my lunch break at work and many times I would audibly gasp or talk out loud. I can’t remember the last time I did that while reading a book. Completely recommend.

An excellent middle grade fantasy including a strong celebration of Asian culture. I also appreciated the theme of humanitarian protest that was so central to the plot.
