There are some things that I wish was developed more and certain points where the story seemed rushed. Although I am also looking at this with adult eyes so it might be perfectly paced for a younger audience.

Overall the story was engaging as well as providing a historical narrative that I never thought about. It also evokes empathy especially when the narrative is not applicable to you.
