A Demon in Dandi (Songs of Freedom Series): Set in 1930, Dandi Explores the Dandi March Led by Gandhi Ages 10+

By Lavanya Karthik

Dandi, 1930

All the world's eyes are on this tiny village by the Arabian Sea, where Mahatma Gandhi will soon break the Salt Law to defy British rule.
Dinu would rather be home in Surat, reading his beloved Sherlock Holmes books. Instead, he finds himself wading through mud, battling angry goats and eating burnt food as the youngest of the student volunteers helping prepare Dandi for Bapu's arrival.

When a man is found dead and rumors of an angry demon grip the village, Dinu finds himself drawn into the mystery, even as he grapples with dilemmas of his own. But as Dinu and his friends race against time to find the killer, the demon strikes again . . .
