Doesn't cover any new territory, but it is a sweet feel-good story that I enjoyed reading.
Did you ever wonder, what if The Little Prince was set in a queer scifi graphic novel infused with Indonesian language and culture? If you haven't yet, you should. This has all the hallmarks of an award winner and is going to be the darling of many a committee unless I miss my mark.

Fun read, but I'm mad because Brenner gets a redemption arc and nobody, not even the narrative, seems to notice!</spolier> Also it's a bit too straight. Still, a fun read. Would hand to anybody.

Books with dogs make me cry. I wish the autistic representation felt more...representative? But everybody's experiences are diverse so I suppose the autistic author does find these experiences to be ones fae've had. I mostly jus wish this wasn't a foster kid book, because it feels very clear to me that that's the one experience that the author can't speak authentically to, and it shows.

If you can think of a more deliciously evil villain than someone who harvests children's tears, I think you're lying. This is a great read, especially recommend to kids who love lightly dark humor.
