Tamasha (Paperback, Nandita Ramesh)

Rishi had been looking forward to an adventurous vacation with his father, but when COVID strikes he ends up stuck in his aunt’s apartment. Her ways are peculiar; he suspects she is a witch. Bhujji lives in the apartment opposite, and she is stuck as well. Rishi begs Bhujji to save him from his witch aunt and soon enough these unlikely friends decide to run away together. Alone on the streets, they befriended Karu, a multi-talented boy and street performer from the slums trying to survive the pandemic in the hardest conditions. He introduces the children to a different kind of adventure and magic that will change their perception on life forever.
