This book frequently made me emotional just for the vast array of representation it held. And then it made me emotional by having emotional things happen. There were moments this book felt unrealistic, and I couldn't tell you if it was Oshiro's sci-fi background seeping in or my own unwillingness to believe how awful things can be. It's definitely well written, and I love these kids so much.
