An evocative historical novel in verse about a boy and his family who are forced to flee their home and become refugees after the British Partition of India.Twelve-year-old Raj is happiest flying kites with his best friend, Iqbal. As their kites soar, Raj feels free, like his beloved India soon will be, and he can’t wait to celebrate their independence.
