I want to give a book to a young friend but I can't remember the title and the librarian could not find it either. Book teaches about Gandhi in a cool way.

I don't know the age of the book but the plot revolves around a white kid who was raised until 13 or 14 in India and after his father dies (at the start of the book), he move to US to live with his aunt. He then teaches the local kids about Gandhi and has a hunger strike to change either a rule or law I forget. It was written for young adults and is fiction but I don't know anything more.
