A poignant story of life in India during the pandemic that mixes loss, hope, and even a mystery solved by imaginative, lively, almost-nine-year-old Swara.
When the pandemic hits and India goes into lockdown, high-spirited Swara keeps up her daily chats with her just-as-imaginative grandmother, Pitter Paati, through video calls. But soon Pitter Paati becomes too ill to even call, and then Swara's parents say she has died of the virus.
Ā
Swara can't believe it. Pitter Paati would not just leave! It's impossible!
Ā
As Swara investigates the mystery of her grandmotherās disappearance, she stumbles upon a neighborhood mystery as well. With help from her friends, usually-annoying brother, and clues sheās certain came from Pitter Paati, Swara solves that very real mystery and, slowly, comes to terms with the truth about her grandmother.
Ā
She also realizes Pitter Paati will be with her, in many important ways, forever.
