A must-read! I really enjoyed this book, its pace, its vivid descriptions and most of all the setting. As someone who has attended the Jaipur Literature Festival multiple times, I felt at home reading this book and recognising the array of characters, the venues and the energy. It was such a treat to be able to relive some of my favourite memories through the eyes of the hilarious and relatable protagonist. A pleasant read during these not-so-pleasant times!

Well, okay, it's okay. Nothing more, nothing less but a grand okay. I don't see a clear direction for the story, it just rather happens. I am not sure I'd call this good book even for kids, for the same reason that it doesn't feel like a story, but rather like a series of happenings, weakly connected.

If it were to introduce History and mythology to kids, ummmm, I'm not sure it did a good job. The movies like 'Mayabazar' do a greater justice and are far more entertaining. And this is coming from me who isn't too much into movies.

Good illustrations though. Stars for that.
