In "Munmun" by Jesse Andrews, the story is set in a world where people can manipulate their size through a currency called "munmun." The protagonist, a teenager named 13, lives in a society where size determines social status and power. As he navigates his awkward adolescence, he grapples with issues of identity, wealth disparities, and the absurdities of his society. With humor and heart, the novel explores the dynamics of growing up, personal relationships, and the struggles of fitting in, all within a unique and imaginative framework that sheds light on deeper themes of inequality and belonging.
