This isn't 'fun' in the traditional sense, but it’s a beautiful, essential read. Uchida manages to take a massive, state-sponsored injustice and distill it into a story about a second-grader losing a piece of jewelry.
It’s aged remarkably well because it doesn't pander or over-explain. It just tells the truth. If your kid is used to high-octane graphic novels, this might feel 'slow,' so it’s best read together where you can talk through the 'why' behind the story.
