"Perspectives of two Indonesian middle-schoolers and a caged
orangutan entwine. Wealthy Malia faces the consequences of
disobediently circulating an anti-palm-oil petition at her school,
resulting in suspensions for herself, her best friend, and her
teacher. Ari, fortunate to be plucked from his impoverished village
to attend school and compete in chess tournaments, helps the uncle
who is hosting him but worries about Ginger Juice, the orangutan his
uncle keeps in a cage. When Ari learns about orangutan rehabilitation
centers from Malia's petition, the young people unite to plot a
rescue"-Provided by publisher.
