In this delightful sequel to Aditi and the One-Eyed Monkey, the postal parrot brings a cryptic letter with a British stamp for 'Aditi and Friends' — an urgent call for help from twins Roshan and Rohit in London. A River Dragon is in trouble!. The five friends set off and their adventures finally land them on primetime television news! This book was written for the children of Blue Gate Fields Junior School in London. The children had read the first book and very much wanted Aditi and friends to come to London. Suniti Namjoshi weaves fantasy, philosophy and feeling so deftly into a story that will keep readers enthralled.
A bold trend
When the author is a feminist, this part adventure, part fantasy tale is more than just a book: It's a bold trend in children's literature… Aditi is Indian, wears salwar-kameez and plaits her hair. (This is how illustrator Shefalee Jain imagined her). However, Aditi is not in a limiting/closed 'Indian' world. Like any child in the world, she too has desires to know more, about the worlds and peoples and creatures of distant lands. Boloji.com
