Maria Parr
Books often serve as a bridge to another world. Maria Parr’s book does just that. It takes us into the world of Tanya (Tonje, in the original)—the pluckiest girl in the Glimmer Dale Valley—and her life full of innocent pranks, speed and self-confidence, and a friendship with a seventy something neighbour called Gunnvald.
Jess Butterworth
When the Mountains Roared hits the ground running. From the very first page the book jumps right into the thick of the story, leaving you waiting eagerly for the next twist in the tale. The author, Jess Butterworth has fashioned an engaging narrative set primarily in the foothills of the Himalayas.

First things first, this book is written for teenagers but is not well thought out and plotted. The story is quite good where one friend gets kidnapped and the other saves her. The story is a dystopic reflection of today’s world. It is set in south Bombay which is another way of being told that such events take place in the real world itself.
