I am not the target audience but I still enjoyed it.
It is worth mentioning that this is a story about an African girl set in Africa by a white author. While the author seems to know the culture, you can see some.of her biases as an outsider. If you are looking for a cool exciting story, this book is great but if you are looking for representation of the peoples of Mozambique, I don't recomend. If that is what you are after, find something by a member of that culture. They can represent their own culture better than any outsider.
