Chosen as one of the 100 great children's books of the last 100 years by the New York Public Library.
In this award-winning novel for readers in grades 2-5 illustrated by Jamie Hogan, Naima must find a way to save her mother's golden bangle -- and fix her father's rickshaw. Booklist said this "lively, moving book has surprises that continue to the end," Kirkus promised that "Naima's story will be relished by students and teachers alike," and the Cooperative Center for Children's Books picked it as a must-read global title for children.

Mitali Perkins has written many books for young readers, including You Bring the Distant Near (nominated for a National Book Award) and Rickshaw Girl (adapted into a film by Sleeperwave Productions), all of which explore crossing different kinds of borders.
