Parents should reach for this book when their teenager is starting to notice systemic unfairness and is struggling with the idea that some people are treated as less than human. It is a powerful tool for discussing the difference between what is legal and what is actually right. While the story is wrapped in a hilarious fantasy mystery, it serves as a sophisticated deep dive into prejudice and the moral obligation to protect the vulnerable.

It provides a roadmap for how an individual can use their privilege to demand justice for others.
