Customer Reviews

This book will make you cry

I ordered this book after seeing it reccomend on instagram. I read it in one night. While it is a fictional story, the author based it on many real events. It takes place in India, and the main characters are four homeless children. The book points out the harsh realities of poverty and the need for people who will pick you up when you are struggling. I sobbed through the last chapter.
