I LOVED this book.
Fantastic world building with a well fleshed out magic system. I was thoroughly immersed in the story and adventures of the main character Chompa. She is head-strong, curious and brave, which I love to see in children's stories.
This story follows Chompa's journey in discovering her magic and how she can use it to change her fate and the fate of many others.
The book introduces the history of colonialism in an easy to understand way for younger readers, which is an important part of both Indian and British history.
