As soon as I read the dedication, I knew I was going to like this book. The writing and every topic this book contained shows how much this book meant to the author. It shows how much time and dedication went into writing and researching. The plot and the growth of all three characters was written thoroughly.

This book covers how messed up the school system is to those in struggling communities. It also talks about anger and how being angry isn't as bad as adults make it out to be. Now add in some magical realism -with their talismans- and multiple POVs! So well thought out and passionately written.
