This book is so many things, and I wanna do it justice for a review. First off I read this because I thought I wouldn’t like it. I thought it was gonna be one of those throw away books. But from the first chapter it literally pulled me in and gave me so many emotions and thoughts that left me so hopeful in a world so unfair currently. By the time I met the kids, I was lost in this worldwind of so much joy and hope in kids who have only known hate because of how they look. I just feel too much to say about how this book was. I’m afraid to read the sequel because I just like how hopeful it was

A real life plane crash is discussed in one scene. There are a few uncomfortable jokes made about child characters.
Not sure how to tag it, but the fact that the fantasy oppression narrative was partially inspired by the Sixties Scoop is very much something to be aware of.
