The Night Diary by Veera Hiranandani
I enjoyed learning about the split of India and the creation of Pakistan. I particularly enjoyed seeing the story through the eyes of a child, especially the questions which occur to children: "Why were people living together in a community peacefully and all of a sudden, started fighting?"
This story brings up some very interesting deep concepts, yet, delivers them with subtle grace, completely graspable by young readers.
Happy Reading...and learning!
