A good story, well told.

An excellent story that can be enjoyed by adults and children. I particularly liked the way the author used descriptive detail to completely put you into the world of her main character. I'm looking for books to get my 11-year-old nephew hooked on reading, and I plan to share this with him. Perhaps future editions could have the larger type size usually found in "young adult" books.
I really enjoyed this!

This book was interesting to me in a number of ways. You learn about Indian culture from a completely different perspective and the book opens with many interesting historical facts I didn't know. The story itself was exciting and well written. You will be surprised about what the story has to offer given the title. Personally, I would like to see a second book with the same main characters! Great book!
