Such an incredible story of children whose parents will lie, cheat, bribe, and do whatever it takes to get their child into a special gifted academy. The pressure being pushed onto these children is enough to push them overboard and react in very hostile and attention-seeking manners.

What a perspective into the lengths parents will go, even if it means doing the work and breaking with moral codes. For what...bragging rights? To be the best amongst a group of “friends”.

Social and economic diversities are portrayed well throughout this story and really makes you think on life in today's society. The author did a great job of showcasing all sides of the equation while centering around the core group of families and friends.
