Under Fire
Description
Join 12-year-old Anglo-Indian boy Hasan in 1943, after his family's life in Coventry is upturned during the Blitz and his parents send him to live with his grandpa in Calcutta.
When he reaches India, Hasan is quickly introduced to a world of inequality, secrets and codebreaking. After befriending a strong-minded girl named Jaya, the pair soon decide to stand up for what they believe is right: fighting for freedom.
