It is honestly such an uplifting and happy read; it's full of warmth, heart and cute moments that stick with you. I especially loved the relationship growth between Felix and his granddad, it's funny and touching. The way chess is intertwined into the story really adds a meaningful layer. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves character-driven stories with a meaningful message, and a dash of humor.
