Title: Prisoner of Bhopal
Author: WALKER T. I. M.

In Bhopal in 1984, Amil learns that he can predict the movement of the wind. Can this gift free him from working for the hateful Mr Kumar and protect him from an impending poisonous gas leak at the Bhopal Pesticide Plant?

Amil has always dreamed of working at the modern, space-age pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, where he lives. Instead, on his tenth birthday, he is torn from his family and taken to work for Mr Kumar and his cruel son, Jalesh, in their dilapidated printing factory. There, hidden in a trunk, he finds a secret First World War journal. As its pages come to life, they reveal not only why Amil is there, but that he and the journal’s author – his great-grandfather, Sanjiv - share a magical gift: they can read the wind. Its purpose remains a mystery until, one terrible night, the pesticide plant leaks poison gas into the air above Bhopal . . .
