Invitingly titled, the story brings the reader ‘eye to I’ with wildlife. For the city-dwelling readers, the book is an experience which speaks about thrill and adventure along with long spells of boredom and waiting at times. Set in the wilderness of a jungle in the southern parts of the country, two teen wildlife enthusiasts, Nandu and Salu are setting camera traps and covering line transects. (If you don’t know what this means, don’t worry! The book will tell you.) They are hopeful of encountering some large animals in their natural habitat and if lucky, the king of the forest, the Royal Bengal Tiger itself.
