The Samosa Rebellion

Critically acclaimed author Shanthi Sekaran makes her middle grade debut with a stunning novel about a young boy named Muki Krishnan, who, along with his friends, must rescue his grandmother from a relocation camp. The novel explores themes of xenophobia and immigration as the country of Mariposa divides its citizens into Butterflies and Moths based on their lineage. When Muki's grandmother, Paati, is captured and taken to a camp, Muki joins a secret rebellion and realizes that rescuing his grandmother will be the fight of his life. The book is perfect for fans of The Night Diary and Front Desk, and has been recognized as one of the Bank Street Best Children's Books of the Year.
