(2) 4-6 From India, eight-year-old Anu's grandfather brought stories of gods, Indian cooking, and devotion to his grandson. When Bapu has a stroke and dies, Anu's loss and guilt (he thinks he should've run faster for help) are overwhelming; thus begins his quest to bring Bapu back. Banerjee's novel is set right after 9/11--a fitting background for this story about surviving an unexpected, shocking loss.
