Illustrated by Tapas Guha
As part of a positive effort to feature a collection of books reflecting our multicultural society, this story represents some of the more sensitive material that's on the market. Mohini's family prepare to enjoy their holiday in the hills, escaping the heat of Delhi. The holiday turns into a nightmare after the unexpected departure of their father and the danger and tension of the events that follow. When a motorbike screeches out of control towards Mohini and her cousin, Jack, everything seems lost. The cultural values of India are integral to a superb story here. This is invaluable for introducing any exploration of comparative societies yet worthy of a place on the bookshelf in its own right.
