Santosh travels alone from Mumbai, where he lives with his mother, to Kolkata, on holiday. He has secret plans to look for his father, whom he barely remembers. The train ride brings him into contact with people outside his sheltered world – a prelude to another, deeper, journey. With a light and honest touch, this book explores the emotional dilemma of a young boy who faces the bittersweet reality of estrangement.

Just A Train Ride Away by Mini Shrinivasan turned out to be better than I expected. It shows the Indian world from Santosh's unique perspective. I loved the repetition of the thought provoking line, 'It made you think.', the fitting description of an Indian train ride, and Mini Shrinivasan's wonderful writing style. I would definitely recommend it to avid, young readers like me.
