This sounds like a lovely story about the struggles children in poverty deal with on a day-to-day basis. I enjoyed your review. You give a fair assessment of the book and have definitely piqued my interest. I can see why it would be beneficial as a part of school curriculum.

"Dumb orphans" is a nice book for young people, the book establishes the fact that determination to succeed pays. No child should be treated as less human. Thanks to the reviewer for a great review

Congrats on BOTD!
Resilience and determination are the true facts of life everyone need to learn I had got it through a lot of struggling in my life... And it's very important to teach children with these facts as early as possible to not suffer much.

Dumb Orphans by Allan Low will be great for teaching kids the benefits of hard work and resilience. I don't read children's books, so I'll pass on this one.

I really sympathize with Aiyasha. An orphan at 7 and she has to take care of other orphans.

I really hope she got assisted to ensure they all get education and other basic needs.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

The reality of AIDS orphans in Africa is very sad and traumatic. Sometimes members of the community will rally together to help them get an education and teach them skills to earn money, but others are too focused on their own survival. The message of resilience and perseverance should be inspiring for everyone subjected to severe living conditions and may even generate aid from more fortunate people. Thank you for your informative review.

The Bundu Bunch Trilogy's Dumb Orphans is an engrossing and emotionally stirring story that appeals to readers of all ages. This endearing novel is a must-read for readers of all ages since it skillfully combines suspense, inspiration, and information.

The author deftly addresses themes of resiliency, hope, and the value of human connection through its likable characters and moving narrative. The story's emotional intensity is counterbalanced by amusing interludes, creating a touching and heartbreaking reading experience.

This book's capacity to arouse intense emotions, such as tears of joy and sorrow, is what most impresses me about it. The characters' hardships and victories are vividly portrayed, demonstrating the author's writing skill and giving their journey a very personal sense.

The book's beauty is enhanced by the straightforward but powerful graphics that perfectly match the story. In addition to being a compelling narrative, this trilogy is an effective educational tool that fosters empathy and awareness.

To preteens, teens, and anybody else looking for a novel that will uplift, inform, and stay with them long after the last page is turned, I heartily recommend "Dumb Orphans (The Bundu Bunch Trilogy)." It is an invaluable addition to any bookshelf because of its everlasting message of optimism and resilience.

'Dumb Orphans' is funny and action packed, but it also gets some surprisingly poignant. The characters did suffer, but more than that they had bonds with each other, and I was really moved by that.
