I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher.
Kiku lives on the streets, just surviving day to day. A chance meeting means that she can do more than survive, but this brings her trouble.
I felt like the formatting was strange and the occasional jumps to different characters weren't needed. The plot was ok but didn't really draw me in.

I did expect this to be geared more towards children, but it really wasn't. It was a really good read. I like that the author has covered a topic that most people just want to ignore. I like that the school was there for children who had difficulties and there were actual solutions to fix the learning gap. They were treated as people who don't learn in the same way most people do and were offered different solutions to help that.

It was a nasty challenge for Kiku, living in a condemned sewer tunnel, but keeping herself safe was more important than the foul scents.
Kiku found herself helping an injured soul who changed her circumstances dramatically. She finds herself riding into danger with her new friends, encountering dangerous people, exploring new planets, and experiencing exciting new things. It was entertaining.
