This book was so good. I don't even know how to put into words how much I love it. There's a lot of rumination on the concept of utopia and abolition, and that justice and peace requires ongoing action and care for every member of society. I loved Pet's reflections of human's dichotomous thinking. 

A really great theme of this book was how no matter your age, you can and should be an agent of change in your own society and that creating a better world requires us all to be able to challenge our perception of the world and what we know to be true. 

Overall it was such a great one to read!
