This is a very inspiring book that raises topics about inequality and exploitation by people in power. It also shows how a strong determined attitude prevails and how selfless leaders can make changes that affect the underprivileged kids in society. Definitley a must read by teenagers and youth. Congrats on the BOTD!

Allan Low has creatively written this young adult fiction about the orphans and underprivileged in society. I like the positive aspect of resilience and determination that is needed in life to succeed. Aiyasha had a hard time here. Your review is well written. Congratulations on the BOTD!

A story of determination and resilience, the BOTD shows how several orphans were able to rise past the societal neglect. Despite being labeled "dumb," the Bundu children were stronger than the privileged. Nice review.

I agree with you that the organisation of a book often affects its enjoyment and subsequent interpretation. Thanks for your thorough review.

A teenage life based book ""Dumb" Orphans" by Allan Low, which follows Aiyasha, an orphan who was given the responsibility of taking care of seven other orphans. I want to read this book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Through the lens of treatment towards those less privileged society, especially the orphans, it really sounds like this book sends a powerful message.

"Dumb" Orphans by Allan Low tells the story of Aiyasha, who became an orphan at the age of fifteen. I found the theme of willingness, resilience and determination to succeed in the book very inspirational. Congrats to the author on #BOTD!

Allan Low proves that something marvelous can still come out of the less privileged in his book, "Dumb" Orphans: A Bundu Bunch Trilogy. Congratulations BOTD!

I find this review compelling. The author emphasizes the importance of treating every child with equal care and provisions, regardless of their background. The story of Aiyasha and the Bundu Bunch demonstrates the power of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The author also exposes the wickedness and neglect perpetuated on the less privileged members of society, especially orphans. Overall, the book is well-structured and inspiring and the reviewer did a great job.

Being an orphan is surely not easy and some humans are not nice at all. They use whatever privileges have been given to them to oppress other people. The children's resilience is commendable.

Everyone deserves equal rights in all spheres of life and to be moved aside and labeled "dumb" only because you were unfortunate to become an orphan is cruel. Those children went through a lot and had to grow up early. Jabu's words about a family that was forced "to feel they have no alternative but to abandon their child" struck me greatly. These are not the words that should be heard from a seven-year-old. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

The beginning of the book already captured my attention. Who would not be drawn by a book following children orphaned at a young age and being one tasked with the responsibility of caring for the other orphans. Despite their situation they still look at the bright side of things and stand strong. Thank you for this lovely review.
