Winner of the Costa Children's Book Award 2019 Winner of the
Times/Chicken House Children's Fiction Competition 2017 Shortlisted
for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2020 Longlisted for the
Jhalak Prize 2019 Chosen as one of the Guardian's Best Books of
2019 'This book is such a light-filled, huge-hearted delight of an
adventure.' KATHERINE RUNDELL 'An evocative debut novel ...
satisfyingly classic in feel' GUARDIAN 'A heartfelt and mystical
children's adventure story.' TELEGRAPH Asha lives in the foothills
of the Himalayas. Money is tight and she misses her papa who works
in the city. When he suddenly stops sending his wages, a ruthless
moneylender ransacks their home and her mother talks of leaving.
From her den in the mango tree, Asha makes a pact with her best
friend, Jeevan, to find her father and make things right. But the
journey is dangerous: they must cross the world's highest mountains
and face hunger, tiredness - even snow leopards. And yet, Asha has
the unshakeable sense that the spirit bird of her grandmother - her
nanijee - is watching over her ... A gorgeously original and
magical adventure set in India, for children aged 9 and up. From
the author of Tamarind & the Star of Ishta - longlisted for the
Blue Peter Book Prize. Explores themes of faith, family and
friendship while capturing the wild, rich heart of contemporary
India.
