Spoiler Alert! What did you think of the ending of "Dumb" Orphans: The Bundu Bunch Trilogy by Allan Low?

The ending was good and gave perfect touch for the story, it valued the journey of the book.

I think the ending was interesting and definitely summed up the whole trilogy. We got to see the "fruits of labour" of the Bundu Bunch, all their hard work finally paying off. I think it was a very melancholy ending but I felt both sad and proud of what they accomplished. They sacrificed and suffered a lot, but their work helped a lot of kids who wouldn't need to suffer going forward like the Bundu Bunch had. The Bundu Bunch goes from innocent and tired of abuse to powerful, brave leaders in human rights.

It was a very symbolic one. It displays appreciation of hard work, bravery, but also a little sad considering all the circumstances.

The ending was very apt. They suffered, struggled and sacrificed a lot. The hard work finally paid off. It gave a perfect ending to the book.

I was so sad that Aiyasha did not get to witness the successes of her orphan family until the very end. After the conclusion to the book, I understand why she removed herself from societies view for so many years, but I still felt sad that she didn't at least let her orphan family know where she was. It did add an air of mystery to the book and I truly enjoyed that aspect.

The ending was fitting to the story, although I was sad about Aiyasha. I understood why she had to remove herself from the public eye, but it was cruel to not let her Bundu Bunch and their friends know her whereabouts for so long.

I liked how everything wrapped itself up and all the Bandu Bunch was back with Aiyasha at the end. I did feel like it was a little bit too much of a happily ever after ending, as all the Bandu Bunch ended up very successful, but I also would have been very upset if someone had suffered. I thought it was a very motivational ending.

I definitely love the end of the story; the bravery of the Bandu Bunch finally paid off. Their suffering made way for other kids. I also love the reunion with Aiyasha.

The ending of “Dumb” Orphans: The Bundu Bunch Trilogy is both heart-wrenching and uplifting. Aiyasha, after implementing pro-poor policies, faces severe opposition and mysteriously disappears, presumed murdered. This tragedy deeply affects the Bundu Bunch, but they honor her legacy by continuing their remarkable achievements, both locally and internationally. In a surprising twist, Aiyasha reveals her survival and secret location to her orphan family, explaining how she relied on each of their strengths to reach her ultimate goal. This conclusion underscores the themes of resilience, unity, and the profound impact of collective effort.

I think the ending put a nice bow on all the different story threads that were created over the course of the book. I am not sure the politics and government topics would appeal much to younger audiences. Nevertheless, it was well don,e and it left me feeling satisfied.
