Red Kite Adventure (Paperback)  | Released: 01 Mar 2016

Identical!' Veer and Arzaan look uncannily similar but they could not have been more different. At a chance meeting that might have been fated all along, the two twelve-year-olds are stunned by their own resemblance! As they exchange stories, their friendship rapidly deepens over pooping messenger pigeons that one can call with a special whistle, and Dada's kites dancing in the wind with colourful tails. But their joyous days come to an abrupt halt when Veer is kidnapped by malicious goons and Arzaan makes a fatal sacrifice to protect his friend. Will their bond be enough to save them both or is there only so much two young boys can do?About the Author: Leela Gour Broome enjoys playing with words, painting her puns into cartoons or cooking up real and imaginary yarns for children and anyone else who is willing to listen.
