Critically acclaimed author Shanthi Sekaran makes her middle grade
debut with this timely and stunning novel in which a young boy and
his friends must rescue his grandmother from a relocation camp
after their country’s descent into xenophobia. Perfect for fans
of The Night Diary and Front Desk. Before his
grandmother moved from India to the island of Mariposa, Muki
Krishnan’s life was good. But now? He has to share his bedroom
with Paati, his grandmother, who snores like a bulldozer and wakes
him up at dawn to do yoga. Paati’s arrival coincides with even
bigger changes in Mariposa. The president divides citizens into
Butterflies—families who have lived in Mariposa for three
generations—and Moths, who, like Muki’s family, are more recent
immigrants. The changes are small at first. But then Muki and his
friends find a camp being built to imprison Moths before sending
them away. Soon after, his Paati is captured and taken there. While
devising Paati’s escape, Muki discovers that a secret rebellion
is underway, and as he digs deeper, he realizes that rescuing Paati
will be the fight of his life. * Bank Street Best Children's Books
