History
Strong as Fire, Fierce as Flame
by supriya kelkar
Meera is twelve, about to turn thirteen, and living in India in 1857 under the rule of the East India Company. With help from her friend Bhavani, she finds the courage to become as strong as fire and as fierce as flame. This is a moving piece of historical fiction about girls and women who stood up to colonial rule in their own ways. It is a good way into a part of India's past that is rarely told for young readers.
