After she is caught listening to Gandhi at a rally, Rosalind's furious father ships her off to her English aunts, where her free-thinking spirit once again shakes up the status quo. Then her father returns, and she chafes against his strict colonial views. While her British Army major father has been away in WWI, 15-year-old Rosalind has enjoyed freedom in her southeast Indian town, roaming the bazaar with her Indian friends rather than chatting with other Brits at the local club. Simon & Schuster/Paula Wiseman, hardcover, $15.99. "It's a gripping, funny, touching book, and Gloria Whelan is a storytelling genius."-Stephanie Spinner, author of QUIVER, QUICKSILVER and, DAMOSELĪpr 2011.
