This was a good story but I have to confess I had a hard time with it, largely because of the foreign words and names. But the story was good (sad) and well told.

Lovely, fun and heartbreaking story of kids living in the slums of India. Lovely for how vividly the characters and settings are drawn. Fun for the child perspective yet heartbreaking for the same reason.
