| Summary/Abstract |
If you ever thought history is boring, this funny and astonishing book is the perfect solution! Did you know that... One of India's greatest emperors was erased from all history books for nearly 1,500 years?; Beetles and beetle wings were a much sought-after fashion accessory once upon a time?; The iron pillar in Delhi's Qutub complex does not rust?; A French astronomer discovered the remains of a Roman port in South India?; A caravan of elephants and camels from India once paraded the frozen streets of St Petersburg, Russia? Dive into these and many more odd and wonderful facts from the pages of Indian history. You will find here the megacity of ancient India whose existence we know of today from the accounts of Chinese and Greek travellers; the architects who created whispering galleries; the cluster of houses in Rajasthan covered with vibrant frescoes; and the strange story of how tea came to India. Lovelorn princes who lost their kingdoms; intrepid botanists who studied and recorded every plant in the Malabar region; the poem written in praise of garlic--these are some of the nuggets that capture the peculiar, the fascinating and the eccentric bits of history the way no textbook ever will!

| Summary/Abstract |
Eleven-year-old Nimmi Daruwala does not like her last name at all, nor Sumit, her chief tormentor and general pie-faced classmate. But she loves drama, Miss Tanvi, her drama teacher—and, most of all, inventing utterly unusual words. On the first day of Grade 6, Nimmi wakes up thinking it is going to be a spectacular+fabulous=spectabulous year. But starting with an ill-fitting skort, nothing goes right for her. Sumit is suddenly on the same school bus as her. Her best friend Sophia is talking in a strange singsong accent and is friendly with mean girl Alisha Dubash. And Nimmi’s favourite drama teacher has taken the year off. In her place there is the dull, pale-eyed Miss Aatmaja, who brands Nimmi the Troublemaker of Grade 6!
With jumping rubber spiders, tumbling candy coloured school furniture, a principal with one too many bright ideas, and a birthday party where almost everything goes wrong, Nimmi’s Spectabulous Schooldays is hilarious and dramatic and a story every schoolchild will relate to.

| Summary/Abstract |
Anand exposes the secrets and sorrows and courage that are part of today’s life.
A girl dealing with grief; another who is witness to a horrible assault on a woman in broad daylight; a boy who pushes himself to the brink of extinction; teenagers coming to terms with their otherness. Her stories ask, how do you tell a friend that you are different from everyone else in a deep, fundamental way? How do you go back to school and face friends and teachers when your own family has betrayed you? And when you put your faith in Superman, does he deliver when the bullies come calling?
Dark yet uplifting, unflinching yet deeply positive, these stories are a searing portrayal of the minds of today’s teenagers. In Paro Anand’s the Other, we are forced to examine our actions and inactions and every reader will find a fragment of themselves in the stories. It is a book every young adult and adult must read.

| Summary/Abstract |
Tigers don't talk (well, at least not in 'people' language). Tigers don't have names either. But then T-Cub is a very special tiger cub and he wants to tell you his story. It's about his life in a forest in India, and his animal friends (and foes) including monkeys, peacocks and elephants.
T-Cub is naughty, curious, lovable and brave (and sometimes scared too!). He is living the good life of a wild tiger--prowling the forest, loved by his Ma, teased by his sister. He is learning the ways of the jungle, to hunt, to be a tiger... And then one day his mother vanishes, and T-Cub learns another lesson--it isn't easy being a tiger.
