To know more about the mystery behind the yellow lake and other things read ‘Junior Detectives #1: Mystery of the Yellow Lake: A sleepy village, strange symbols and an ancient secret’

 

My Thoughts:

                The plot is interesting and I liked how the kids are very curious and determined to know about the mystery behind the happenings. Each page has a plot twist which will make the readers curious to know what’s happening next. I am sure that children will surely be lost in the adventures of these junior detectives.

                Characters are well developed. We can link with these small children curious to know about things, the eagerness to find the mystery. I was really worried for all of them when they took a journey to the fort and was constantly scared about what is waiting for our junior detectives.

                Language is simple and lucid. The narration is done beautifully and I also loved the illustrations that were there in the book. The pace of the story is also perfect. The book title and the book cover are both apt to the plot of the book.

                Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and would surely recommend it to everyone.

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’.
