*Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this title in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.*

This adventure, mystery, fantasy novel holds a lot of depth and so many lessons for our main character.

I enjoyed that this story included many relevant topics that our middle-grade readers have experienced, like pandemics and the police. It also packed a punch with world-building in the magical jungle. 

The story moved a little slow at some points, creating a fairly long middle-grade book, however, there are so many lessons packed into this story that I think readers will become really passionate about cheering Hamra on. 

This will be a book that I will definitely be recommending, however, I will likely stick it with readers looking for older middle-grade reads.
