A Harappan Adventure

 A Harappan Adventure: Girls of India by Sunila Gupte.

First of all, this is a great travel read ( I hope that's how they call books that are good to read on the go). I finished this on my travel to Yercaud.

The protagonist Avani (oh I love that name) and friends Tavishi, Delshad and Ambar are smart and mischievous but also daring as they get into many adventures. Then there is the wedding of the Village Elder’s daughter Ketika and the son of the priest-king this guy brings fresh excitement into their lives. The monk who travelled from China is also visiting so the wedding has to be perfect. Everyone is busy with work, which gives no time for Avani and her friends to continue with their adventures but Avani suspects something sinister is about to happen. Which may or may not include the two mysterious men who Avani heard talking about Revenge. Other incidents, like a bizarre robbery and a fire at the grain storeroom, add to the tension.

When everyone thought everything was going according to plan, a few minutes after the wedding, Ketika and the priest-king's son is kidnapped. Will Avani and her friends’ quick thinking help save them ???

 I hope this was thrilling enough

I really love how it's not like other history books with the "boringness" of facts, years and dates but it's a blend of history and Fiction or Fictroy make this more exciting and enjoyable.

Next, I will definitely be reading  A Chola Adventure: Girls of India by Anu Kumar
