Absolutely beautiful, heart breaking, soul stirring book. It has been quite a long time since I have read a book like this. Mieko's writing is so beautiful and descriptive. One of very few books that I read bit, by bit, so that it would last longer.

This book is chiefly about bullying and may be triggering for those who have experienced bullying - particularly bullying that is rooted in ableism.

highfivegirl's review

A rough read for me. The escalating bullying was tough and then getting through one of the bully's philosophy on why they bully was infuriating. Heartbreaking discussions on self-concept, self-worth, and friendship within the context of its victims.
