The story's idea in this book is actually very good. How two kids from (very) different places became friend because of youth program. But unfortunately, for me, the delivery was not good enough. The writing style was so flat and unengaging at all. I don't know how to explain it, but the words used in this book were weirdly disjoining the characters with each other and the story too. I personally didn't like the illustrations neither. Again, I can't explain it, but the illustrations were also giving a weird style for my likes.
The concept of this book is actually good. Especially about Kliptown Youth Program (KYP). However, for me, the authors missed the explanation details on how Alizea and Thando meet through KYP. The book has no detail about Alizea and Thando were parts of KYP and explaining the good sides of that youth program.
Nevertheless, thank you to Alizae Kurtzig, Thando Maluleke, We Are One Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC.
