Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan
Who would like this book? Homeless Bird is a good book for any age. I think girls will like this book, but guys might, too. If you like Gloria Whelan you will like this book.
Why? In India, girls are supposed to marry when they are 12. Koly has just married a sick boy who is no older than herself, her step-mother is mean to her, and she wants to learn to read. As things begin to change to quickly, she must learn to be brave.
