The Songbird and the Rambutan Tree shows once again why I will always keep coming back to middlegrade reads. Having these young teens tackle heavy social themes and come out the other side stronger and with a deeper appreciation for their circumstances will always resonate with me.
Here Emmy and her friends are caught in the war for domination and the cruelty they experience makes them mature in ways that will give them resilience to keep on going.
