I love Perkins’ books, which confront cross-cultural experiences and invite important discussions about modernity and change. I’ve chosen this one because it’s a topic close to my heart. It transports readers to the Sundarbans where siblings Neel and Rupa set out to help a tiger cub, even though their plan threatens Neel’s chances of winning a scholarship. This is an accessible read with talking points on climate change, socio-economic class and gender divisions.
