" Faced with the sudden death of
their parents, Pradeep and Priya find themselves not only battling
grief and loss but also adjusting to a whole new world.
Taken to live with their Aunt Sheila in
Coonoor, in the Nilgiri hills, they try to find comfort in routine
and the beauty of their surroundings.
But suddenly, they find themselves in
the midst of a mystery.
There is a kidnap, magic, a car chase,
an extraordinary bakery, strange ladies, and much more. Sleepy and
quiet though the hill station usually is, Pradeep and Priya find
there is never a dull moment. "
Magic in the Mountains is a tale of two
children who lose their parents and have come to live with their
aunt. Magical elements like a flying carpet and talking snakes, the
three children and some villains drive the story forward. There is a
certain charm in the book that is reminiscent of the Enid Blyton
books we read as children.
An adult reader will be able to guess
through the suspense that is built. But considering that this is a
children's book, it can be ignored.
There is a certain beauty that
simplicity brings. This is exactly what Magic In The Mountains bring
to the table with it. It is a book that is suitable for young kids
who have just started reading, as the language is not too difficult
and they will get an opportunity to ignite their imagination. It is
not easy to write for such young children and one must commend the
author Nimi Kurian for such a lovely attempt.
