Wow this book really struck me. I grew up on dystopian novels, and Ng pulls all the best parts of the genre to give a message on Asian American hate, children being taken as a means of control, and the dangers of bystander culture. This novel is powerful, well-written, and a worthy read for anyone.
Graphic: Grief, Racism, and Xenophobia
Moderate: Bullying, Death of parent, and Racial slurs
