nuts246's review against another edition
5.0
A book I would recommend to anyone who is even remotely interested in learning about access to education and the challenges in closing the gap between the intent and the implementation of RTE. Each of the people the 12 year old protagonist, Sarojini, encounters has dozens of real life counterparts I know, and the situations she finds herself in are believable.
The epistolary style is interesting too- the story flows as a set of letters from Sarojini to her illustrious namesake.
But, it is written for YAs, so it does give the impression of being slightly dumbed down in parts.
Overall, READ.

Very warm book. It deals with a serious subject of education system and the mess around it in India. However, it’s written from a child’s perspective and in the form of letters; making it a very interesting and warm read.
