Gay Neck: The Story of a Pigeon by Dhan Gopal Mukerji

3.0

Newbery re-read. Not bad, just a little bit boring. This is the story of a boy and his pigeon in India around WWI. Definitely not a place or a time that I'm especially familiar with, it's not clear how much to trust the details to be true. We don't learn a whole lot about the pigeon or the boy, but we do get a hint of what it might have meant to live in that area at the time, at least if your family had enough money. An okay enough read.
