The Magic Of The Lost Temple: Illustrated, easy to read and much-loved first full length children’s fiction novel by Sudha Murty for ages 8–12

I bought this book for my son and below is his review about the book. Glimpse of the book Nooni the hero of the story went to her grand mother house for summer vacation. Her grandma used to tell her many historical stories and this time it was about stepwell. Inspired by the story along with her friends she went to explore places near Tungabhadra river. She undergoes multiple hurdles and challenges in unearthing the step well. This book is all about how Nooni found the step well. Why I like this book The plot of the book is fascinating, since I like history it connected with me a lot. It is simple to understand and helps in improving the vocabulary. Why I recommend for others This book connects us with our daily life. The way the author has written the book, creates an eagerness to read more of her books. It will be a stepping stone to cultivate the habit of reading books.

A book that I and my niece truly enjoyed reading together!

Good book It is a very good book for children.

The physical condition of book was very good as expected and the delivery was on time as always. The story is very nice. I read it in three days. I bought it for my daughter but before her, I read it, out of curiosity and kept reading once started and finished it in three days. It makes you nostalgic. No words to describe the book. Though the title suggests that, this book is about some lost temple, its actually a stepwell and temples around it. And please note that, do not read this book by expecting that from start to end it will be only about the quest for the temple. Yes it is, but that temple part appears only after 60% book is over. But, it really doesn't matter. This story tells us about the value of Indian culture, tradition and people especially in villages of south India. Everything is explained in such a way that children in the age group of 7 to 17 can easily understand. The protagonist of this novel is a teenage girl Anoushka (a.k.a. Nooni) who goes for two months in her Summer vacations to her grandparents' house in a village called Somanahalli. This is my first book of Sudha Murty in English. Earlier I read her books but all were translated in Marathi. After reading her book in English, I would recommend everyone to read her books in English only because only then you will be able to understand and admire the writer's simple yet magical way of storytelling. Definitely, I will read more of her books in future in English. Her books teach us a lot. We simply get engrossed into reading. No single word in her writing is extra or useless. Every word is beautifully crafted and magically written. Give this book to every child in small and big cities and they will definitely become impressed and mesmerized. Such books should be written in more numbers and by more and more writers, no matter what language!

Such a wonderful book

A good book! Thank you, Murthy Ma'am
