I legit cried for the last fourth of this book, but it’s so good. Very profound thoughts fit into this middle grade story.

This book was fantastic, it really surprised me. I loved the writing, and the plot deftly handled subject matter like loss of a family member, personal identity and intergenerational trauma. The characters were super charming, and the way mythology tied into the story was well done.
