This book reminds me a bit of My Brother's Keeper (another great read about the Korean War), but set in India at the time of their freedom from Britain and the creation of Pakistan. It's a great middle grade read. Highly recommend.

There is near death of a child and the main character is coping with the death of her mother, though we do not have detail of her death and it was in the past.kathischm's review
