Sep 16, 2025As it begins, this is a story about a young girl trying to find her grandma and learning who her grandma really is, but this deceptively deep story is so much more than that. Hidden within a fantastical adventure with complex magical creatures are two young girls struggling with their families and the pressures they face from their familial expectations. Readers can draw their own real-life parallels -- pressures to choose the right career path and college, pressure to choose a pathway in school at a younger and younger age, and so on.

To top all of this off, the animals are adorable and colorful, perfect for fans of O'Neill's The Tea Dragon Society who might be slightly older now. Read Full Review
