I loved this! The artwork was so vibrant and dynamic. I've never seen a graphic novel with such a detailed plot line, it wasn't overly complicated but it had enough complexity that I really wanted to slow down and savor each page, really understand it, before continuing with the story. 

I LOVED that the protagonist had a physical disability and a sensible, ergonomic cane. As an ambulatory wheelchair user, I was impressed by her stamina but recognized little details from my own way of getting around with a cane. I also loved the autism representation. And chosen family fighting together for justice! 

A lovely, inspiring story—where the inspiration was thankfully focused on collective effort to dismante oppression.
