Back in his home village, he and his cousin Suni dreamed about\u003cbr\u003egetting a chance like this. But now he is here without her, and the guilt is\u003cbr\u003ecrushing him. As if that weren't enough, he's horribly worried about Ginger\u003cbr\u003eJuice, his uncle's orangutan. The too-small cage where she lives is clearly\u003cbr\u003ehurting her body and her mind, but where else can she go? The rainforest where\u003cbr\u003eshe was born is a palm oil plantation now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBerani\u003c\/i\u003e, Governor General's Award finalist Michelle\u003cbr\u003eKadarusman spins together three perspectives: Malia, who is prepared to risk\u003cbr\u003eanything for her activism, Ari, who knows the right path but fears what it will\u003cbr\u003ecost, and Ginger Juice, the caged orangutan who still remembers the forest and\u003cbr\u003eher mother. The choices the young people make will have consequences for\u003cbr\u003ethemselves, for Ginger Juice, and for others, if they are brave enough--or\u003cbr\u003ereckless enough--to choose. \u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichelle\u003cbr\u003eKadarusman\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Melbourne, Australia, and also lived many years\u003cbr\u003ethroughout her father's homeland of Indonesia before moving to Canada in 2000.\u003cbr\u003eHer books have earned numerous nominations, including the Governor General's\u003cbr\u003eLiterary Awards, the Ontario Library Association Silver Birch Awards, and the\u003cbr\u003eGreen Earth Book Award.
