Praise
This is a feel-good, lyrical debut that I enjoyed immensely. Bringing Back Kay-Kay is the story of a girl who goes looking for her missing brother and finds him—and herself—in so many different ways. It’s a mystery, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a quest through various towns and trains in India, meeting many personalities and discovering that the truth is many-layered and steeped in love. Read it!
—Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant
The lyrical prose, ongoing pressure of the unsolved mystery, and deeply felt emotions of everyone in Lena’s family will keep middle-school readers hooked.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
While this missing person mystery is action-packed, it is Lena’s devotion to her brother, rich inner world, and meditations on her complicated feelings for her family and her culture that drives the story forward.
—Publishers Weekly
A fast-paced mystery thoughtfully exploring family relationships.
