Description

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 countrys descent into xenophobia. Perfect for fans ofThe Night DiaryandFront Desk.

Before his grandmother moved from India to the island of Mariposa, Muki Krishnans 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.

Paatis arrival coincides with even bigger changes in Mariposa. The president divides citizens into Butterfliesfamilies who have lived in Mariposa for three generationsand Moths, who, like Mukis 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 Paatis 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.
