Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line by Deepa Anappara

4.0

Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line came to my attention when it was named as one of the long list books for the Women's Fiction Prize this year. This novel is set in India and focuses on 3 young kids (about 10 years of age) who begin to look into why kids are disappearing from their poor neighborhood.

This book was a searing look at life in Indian slums. The kids keep their adventurous spirits and wit throughout despite the circumstances of their lives.
