A 2019 NEWBERY HONOR BOOK<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cA gripping, nuanced story of the human cost of conflict appropriate for both children and adults.\u201d
\n–Kirkus<\/em>, starred review<\/p>\n

In the vein of\u00a0Inside Out and Back Again\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The War That Saved My Life\u00a0<\/em>comes a poignant, personal, and hopeful tale of India\u2019s partition, and of one girl\u2019s journey to find a new home in a divided country<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s 1947, and India, newly independent of British rule, has been separated into two countries: Pakistan and India. The divide has created much tension between Hindus and Muslims, and hundreds of thousands are killed crossing borders.<\/p>\n

Half-Muslim, half-Hindu twelve-year-old Nisha doesn\u2019t know where she belongs, or what her country is anymore. When Papa decides it\u2019s too dangerous to stay in what is now Pakistan, Nisha and her family become refugees and embark first by train but later on foot to reach her new home. The journey is long, difficult, and dangerous, and after losing her mother as a baby, Nisha can\u2019t imagine losing her homeland, too. But even if her country has been ripped apart, Nisha still believes in the possibility of putting herself back together.<\/p>\n

Told through Nisha\u2019s letters to her mother,\u00a0The Night Diary<\/em>\u00a0is a heartfelt story of one girl\u2019s search for home, for her own identity\u2026and for a hopeful future.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
