📖Recommend for Grades 6 and up📖
by Padma Venkatraman
In
order to escape their violent father, Viji decides the best thing for her and
her sister Rukku is to run away. The sisters aren’t prepared for living on the
streets of India and are lucky to befriend two homeless boys (Muthi and Arul)
who teach them how to survive. Despite their determination to make it, things
take a turn for the worse and Viji finds herself having to make another
important decision to help her sister.
A wonderfully written story about
four children trying to make it. Viji, Rukku, Muthi, and Arul are all delightful
characters and readers will root for them throughout the story. Parts of this
book may make readers cry, so keep some tissues on hand for the second half of
this read.
