Sin embargo, en el edificio donde trabaja al servicio de una familia privilegiada, tienen agua potable y hasta una piscina en el techo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A New York Times Bestseller.

Winner of the Junior Library Guild Gold Selection Prize 2023.

The riveting story of a heroic girl who fights for her belief that water should be for everyone.

Minni lives in the poorest part of Mumbai, where access to water is limited to a few hours a day and the communal taps have long lines. Lately, though, even that access is being threatened by severe water shortages and thieves, who steal this precious commodity--an act Minni accidentally witnesses one night.

Meanwhile, in the high-rise building where she started to work, water streams out of every faucet; there's even a rooftop swimming pool! Minni also discovers one of the water mafia bosses there. Now, she must decide whether to expose him and risk her job--and, maybe, her life.

How did something as simple as access to water get so complicated?
