Just as with her previous books, this one, too, shows a deep understanding of, and sensitivity to the mind of India's children. Her knowledge of teaching for decades is very obvious in this book. It's a great story with enough tongue in cheek humour to keep young readers riveted. I was particularly taken by the different family relationships the author writes about - the camaraderie between the two old men, so very different and yet both so like-able, the love, friendship and understanding the young hero has for both his grandparents, also between him and his own parents, and later contending with impending tragedy, coping and eventually looking beyond it to find himself a changed and more mature young boy.
A great gift for any young reader, and a great lesson in sensitization of our young, especially in this country where there will soon be a growing number of senior citizens, hopefully as loveable as the two 'oldies' in this story!

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
