Dear Mrs. Naidu

Twelve-year-old Sarojini might be losing her best friend. Ever since Amir moved out of the slum and started at a posh private school, the two seem to have nothing in common. Then Sarojini learns about the Right to Education, a law that might win her a free seat at Amir’s school, or convince him to come back. With help from a feisty classmate, a human rights lawyer and a long-dead freedom fighter who becomes her secret pen pal, Sarojini learns to fight for her friendship, her family and her future. Winner of the 2016 South Asian Book Award.
