Fantastic setting—informative, compelling, heartbreaking—with dynamic, engaging characters you can‘t help but love, an intriguing mystery as a young boy tries to find his missing classmate. And yet, while I appreciated the insight the book gave me into life in India, it‘s written by a former journalist whose experiences inform every aspect of the book, & found parts to be really good, overall the story didn‘t always hold my interest. Low pick.
