Description:
Dhiman can't wait to become friends with Ruhul, a refugee boy who has fled from East Pakistan. At school, everyone is talking about the war that seems certain to come, and knowing Ruhul makes Dhiman feel special and interesting. But soon the war feels frighteningly real: his journalist father crosses the border to report on it and goes missing. At home, the arguments between his mother, aunt, and uncle grow worse and worse. With everything falling apart, only Ruhul can help Dhiman set off through a war-torn land to find his father. A moving story about friendship and finding courage.
