His Excellency (Paperback, Vibha Batra)

As His Excellency, Robbie Sharma, soon realises, when it comes to the Raj Bhavan, there can never be a dull moment. Ten year old Robbie is all set for another long, hot, boring summer. And then something unexpected (maybe not that unexpected) happens. His Granny is made Governor of Uttar Pradesh! He has to travel to Lucknow (to attend the all important swearing-in ceremony, of course) with his family. Which wouldn’t be so bad, except his extended family is going to be there too. For the sake of his family, Robbie decides to suck it up. Till he discovers he has to share a room with his irritating cousins! As the entire Sharma clan reunites under one roof, sparks fly. So do tempers and the occasional fist. And the stage is set for a power-packed adventure. One that sees Robbie jetting away to exciting lands (okay, the closest town), getting his very own bodyguard and beacon car (ahem, sharing them with his family), pigging out at midnight feasts, getting his pictures splashed in the local newspapers, and rubbing shoulders with Very Very Very Important People (till he’s convinced he is one himself). Not to mention, making some very tough choices indeed. Will he rise up to the challenge? Or will he choose personal victory over family happiness? Read on and find out!
