Finders Keepers? A True Story in India
Title: Finders Keepers? A True Story in India
Author: Robert Arnett
Genre: Multicultural
Summary: Not only is this a true story that took place in India, it is also a multi-award winning book. There is young boy who finds a wallet while on his journey through India, coincidentally the wallet belongs to the author. The young boy is troubled with the idea of being rewarded for simply doing what is right. Not only does the boy experience India, he is also exposed to a new situation.
How to use: This multicultural text allows readers to get a glimpse of a young boy's experience in India. In addition to providing many Indian Culture representations, the story also presents a good "moral" or "valuable lesson." This comes from an incidence that the young boy encountered when he found the author's wallet. I would use the text to provide students with a great example of a story that reveals a lot of new information but also provides readers with a plot or storyline.
