Saille Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I wanted to mention a new novel that's out October 2nd. I read an advanced review copy, and I love it. My 11 y.o. will definitely be reading it for Modern next year. I wish I'd had it for the older two! It's called AHIMSA, and it's published by Tu Books/Lee & Low. I find it a very nuanced portrayal, one that acknowledges that even Indian people who participated in the movement didn't agree with Gandhi about all things, and that you can do something for others that you believe to be helpful and then find out it isn't what they need. It's also got a lot of great detail about life in India that will set your kids researching! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
