Ganesh

Más información sobre el libro

In a small Indian village, Jeffrey Moore, affectionately known as Ganesh, enjoys life among the bustling streets, temples, and the Mission School he attends with his friend Rama. Born in India to American parents, he feels a deep connection to his surroundings. However, after his father's death, the villagers begin to see him as a foreigner, prompting Jeffrey to move to America to live with his aunt. In a small Midwestern town, he grapples with the strangeness of his new environment, particularly at school, where his Indian background—Hinduism, yoga, and mantras—sets him apart. As he struggles to fit in and make friends, he finds solace in the rambling house built by his great-grandfather, yet still feels like an outsider. When both his new home and aunt face threats, Jeffrey turns to his emerging friendships and an ancient Hindu tradition for support. This journey from the vibrant culture of India to the unfamiliarity of America becomes a heart-warming tale of self-discovery and belonging, highlighting the challenges of finding one's place in the world.
