Book Uncle and Me by Uma Krishnaswami
5.0
This is a brilliant, and extremely captivating novel. Full of twists and turns.
This book reminded me of why I love reading. This book shows exactly why reading in childhood is so important. It also shows how even a child can make a difference in this ole world. The book starts out with nine-year-old Yasmin, a fun and feisty little girl who comes up with a big goal. Her goal is to ready a new book every single day. She is so hungry for knowledge.
She decides to embark on this mission. One day she comes to get a new book and finds that the city has told book uncle he must get a license to operate a business on the street. Due to his library being free he of course doesn't have enough money so he has had to close up shop.
This makes Yasmin extremely upset, she decide to take some action and jump into politics
The only downside of this book for me is how much of the book is spent on the negative. At one point I was completely unsure if it would end up a-okay. It was very discouraging to say the least, I am unsure a child would be interested in continuing the book. Of course this is a subjective opinion.
