New Coming-­Of­-Age Fantasy Novel Asks Young Adults if Building a Wall in the 21st Century Is a Good Idea

LogoWritten to embody what now faces American voters, a new book by Rohit Gaur asks young adult readers to join the conversation. A part of the zeitgeist since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the world is askew with what some say is a socially harmful mentality. In Gaur's new book Ganesha's Temple, he prods young readers to ask if building walls to restrict citizens from homelands is a good 21st ­century idea. To do this, the coming-­of-­age story brings the wars between India and Pakistan to the fore. Using world mythology and a teen protagonist, it gives a thrilling, revelatory bird's eye view of what that looks like to live within government restricted borders.
