Will Tara agree to the mat’s proposal of going to some another strange place? To know more read Tara.

My Views:

I loved the characters especially Tara and her brother who are always busy pulling each others’ leg. Even after fighting and pulling each others’ leg at the end of the day they are siblings and they both care for each other. The characters are very relatable and they have their own faults like every human being has but how even at such a small age Tara tries to understand the situation when somebody makes her understand and how even at such a small age she understands things.

I have read all of the books from the author and I actually love her writing style. She writes in a simple and lucid language which most people would find easy to read. The pace of the book was not too fast neither too slow. It was perfect.

The plot of the story was unique and would keep the readers curious to know what will happen next.

Overall, I enjoyed the story and would surely recommend the book to someone who is looking forward to read something short and adventurous.

My Rating: 5/5.

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
