Growing up in her village in India, Jyotirmayee Mohapatra witnessed the serious problems that children, especially girls, face there.

Review:

"This tribute to a young activist from rural India, known as Jyoti, will leave readers impressed by her work establishing girls' support groups, and open their eyes to the difficult issues facing many young Indians...this entry in the Young Heroes series provides an introduction to the activist for younger or less-able readers."
