Not giving this a star rating since it is a middle grade book.
I liked elements of it, and the theming was well-written.
However, I did not like the twist.While Moth being a ghost was lightly telegraphed throughout the book, I felt like the revelation short-cut the resolution to the problems Sani and Moth faced. She didn't end up having to deal with her guilt/grief. He didn't have to heal from his family's abuse.
