Changes

Further reading suggestion: While it's aimed at adults, I think mature teens who enjoyed this book would also fall in love with [[What the Day Owes the Night by Yasmina Khadra]], another tale of friends growing up in a country at a time of turmoil. We also liked [[The Grasshopper's Run by Siddhartha Sarma]]. For a tale of India after WWI, as opposed to WWII, I'd also recommend [[City of Ghosts by Bali Rai]]. You might appreciate [[Indian Summer by Pratima Mitchell]], although we felt it had a Bollywood ending.
