really liked it

One day, the letter D suddenly went missing mysteriously everywhere; street signs, daily used words, people's names, objects and animals too! Not just that, dentistry is no longer exists, and dogs are vanishing. As the smart girl Dhikilo went on her way to school, thats when she noticed the difference along the way. When the teachers are teaching, everybody seems to act as the letter D had never existed at all. Dhilkilo's blind professor sent her and a dog that can turned into sphinx with snakes tail to embark on a journey to find and get all the missing letters back to make the world normal again.

What I like about it? The premise, main characters, conflicts and the main character's personality. The whole idea of a missing letter intrigued me so much.

What I don't like about it? The ending. It is rushed and lacking of structure. One think I couldn't fathom is, on page 289, its stated about the kitchen messy and the professor unkempt condition is due to his blindness and no one to help around. But on page 69, the dog/spinx can create some sort of human-shaped balloons to do groceries shopping. 🤷🏻‍♀� the biggest issue for me is the main character is supposed to be the hero in this story. But the villains empire suddenly got crushed just like that by a bunch of angry mob.

3.8⭐️ because I genuinely love the idea of the book and I think it would be better if the ending was written more thoroughly.
