Malia has had a privileged upbringing in Indonesia, but now her mother wants to return to her own family on the other side of the world. Malia is determined to stay in Indonesia, her home. Besides, if she leaves, how can she fight for her country's precious rainforests? Ari knows he is lucky to be going to school and competing on the chess team, even if it means working long hours at his uncle's restaurant. And he's horribly worried about Ginger Juice, his uncle's orangutan. The too-small cage where she lives is clearly hurting her body and her mind, but where else can she go? The rainforest where she was born is a palm oil plantation now. The choices Malia and Ari make will have consequences for themselves, Ginger Juice and others, if they are courageous enough to choose. A powerful story about a standing up for what you believe no matter what the cost.
