Book Uncle and Me

Uma Krishnaswami

Nine-year-old Yasmin borrows a book each day from Book Uncle, a retired teacher who runs a free lending library near her home. When the mayor tries to close the worn bookstand, Yasmin realizes she must act, even though local elections are approaching and she is only a child. She turns to the people around her, including her friend Reeni, Anil, her family, and neighbors. The story follows Yasmin’s response to a threat against the neighborhood library.
