This book was so needed in the world of Historical Fiction. There is a severe lack of Indian representation in novels and this was such an important part of history. Children need to learn about the hardships people of all different cultures and parts of the world have been going through throughout history. I want 20 more book by this author and 20,000 more written for kids about everyday life in India through the ages.

It made me smile, it made me cry, it made me angry. I love Nisha’s perspective and her world view.
“My body felt like it was melting. “Thank you,” I whispered. It was the answer I had always wanted to hear. It almost made everything we had been through worth it.” ❤️

This book for me fell more into the Very Important Book than a really good read. I enjoyed it, and was engaged, but the insight into Partition is greater than the quality of the book. If it were about an event that I had already read about, it would probably be three stars instead of four.
