Indian. Predictable. A little preachy.
The same can be said about her novels, right?
A poor little boy is given a magical conch and has to go through lots of adventures to return it to its home in a utopian valley run by a brotherhood of monks. Accompanied by Abhaydatta, a healer monk and a street urchin girl. I found it a little tedious. The second book was much better than the first. Though the conflicts and moral dilemmas in both the books were resolved so easily. We don't empathise with the characters much and the end of the novel the only person that I could relate to was the girl who was often delegated to the back. The protagonist boy seemed a little uptight and too goody shoes for my liking.
4/10
