This was an exciting book that I think any young reader would find thoroughly engaging. I loved that this book offered me a Black female main character that was courageous, intelligent, witty, loyal, and clever. She is the type of role model that any young person can learn from and her journey is one that will be remembered by readers for a long time. As you can guess, I am always drawn to a book, especially when choosing for a younger reader, that showcases the best of all people and can help to open not just the reader's imagination but their mind and eyes to their own world as well. And this book does that but inviting everyone to an international school with cast of characters that reflects their world not just in description but it name and voice! There is such wonderful depictions of the myriad of cultures, genders, religions, etc that fill our world and showcase the magical in our daily lives.
