Description:

It’s Lucknow in 1942, and Qaisar’s life is turning upside down. World War II is raging and his older brother is going away. Qaisar wonders if a ghost has taken hold of him. Worst of all, his father has banned him from dressing up as Queen Victoria in the play he’s writing. Like his Abba, Qaisar has always believed the British are good for India. But as the Quit India movement grows and danger comes close to his family, Qaisar must play a role he never imagined. It’s a moving, funny story about finding your voice in the freedom struggle.
