A jailbreak story is so universal since most everyone values their freedom.
But when the escapees are children, that just raises the stakes even higher.
A great story of ideal life, horrifying revelations, and moves & countermoves because it is essential that all 38 of these children escape; a gilded cage is still a cage.
