This is my all time favorite children's book!!!
I love the way this story challenges gender with it's character, "A", who wakes up in a new body every day. The love story is beautiful and bittersweet.
This novel is beautiful and magical, and a pretty quick read!
An aching love story and a decisive remonstration, a story told in a whisper, in a shout, through unsentimental tears and sometimes with a bitter laugh. Each of its characters is indelibly, tenderly rendered. Its heroes are people who have been broken by the world they live in and then rescued, patched together by acts of love—and by hope. The tale begins with Anjum—who used to be Aftab—unrolling a threadbare Persian carpet in a city graveyard she calls home. We encounter the odd, unforgettable Tilo and the men who loved her—including Musa, sweetheart and ex-sweetheart, lover and ex-lover; their fates are as entwined as their arms used to be and always will be. We meet Tilo’s landlord, a former suitor, now an intelligence officer posted to Kabul. And then we meet the two Miss Jebeens: the first a child born in Srinagar and buried in its overcrowded Martyrs’ Graveyard; the second found at midnight, abandoned on a concrete sidewalk in the heart of New Delhi.

Such a great book!
Each of these books has something different to connect with. (The Almost Boyfriend is my favorite). They are sweet, fun, and authentic. Perfect for a quick read or a cute escape. Christina has a way with words and with tackling real challenges in a way that isn’t heavy.
Best Friends James (a boy) print and Marvin (a beetle) are separated for a week while James goes on vacation. Marvin has to make do with his irritating cousin, Elaine
