Question

Is this strategy effective for recounting the story of the injustice done to the people of Malaga Island?

Answer 1

Answer:

The author's choice to tell the story from the children's perspectives is effective. The children do not have the same prejudices and concerns that the adults have. As a result, they are open to one another and become friends despite their differences. They provide the reader with unbiased insight into what is happening on the mainland and on Malaga Island.
