The Misadventures of a Diamond Thief
A typical rather rebellious teenager, an overbearing helicopter mom, a grumpy pompous father, and so on, except that they are not humans but gem-stealing djins! The timetravelling young djin has to save the family honour by stealing a fabled diamond, but he himself only wants to be a chef! Written with a lot of humour and imagination, this plot makes for a rollicking read, while also giving glimpses of Nawabi old Hyderabad, where the main action is set.
A delightful story, written in verse, about a family computer which has lost the letter ‘z’ (American ‘Zee’). We can imagine what would happen if we were to lose ‘a’ or ‘p’ on the keyboard. But ‘z’? Playfully narrated and illustrated, the story makes us think about the much neglected ‘z’. The wordplay and the mischief make this a fun book. There are a ‘illion’ reasons to read this picture book!
