A review by mindfullibrarian
Book Uncle and Me by Uma Krishnaswami
4.0
"Right book for the right person for the right day" ~ I love this quote from this quirky bibliophile's book set in India. This story of a girl who borrows a book a day from "Book Uncle" on the corner of her neighborhood is full of wonderful nuggets of reading joy and wisdom and touches on politics and friendship as well. I adored it.

VERDICT: a book for book lovers of all ages. I'm not sure of kid appeal beyond my avid readers, but it could be a wonderful middle grade read aloud and a great cultural exposure to those unfamiliar with India, where this was originally published. The author was born in New Delhi and currently lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
