Summary of the Book

The Blue Umbrella

Ten year old Binya is on cloud nine. She now owns a blue umbrella, one that stands out in her little village, giving her shade and protection from the heat and the rain. She feels she could be no happier, and that nothing could take this happiness away. However, not everyone finds her joy so lovable. In fact, there are some who want the umbrella for themselves and they will do anything to get their hands on it.

The Angry River

But one day, when her grand-parents are away, the river begins to flood the tiny island, and it rages on, destroying the only place that Sita can call home. Can Sita save herself? Or will she drown, losing life and home in one go to the ravages of an angry river?
