3.5/5
Mysterious neighbours, a disgraced cricketer, a school project and cricket - we find all these in this wonderful book by Payal Dhar that took me down the memory lane. It took me back to my school days, not only because it features a school but also because I used to read these kinds of stories when I was in primary school. So this one brought a lot of memories back for me and I had a fun time with it. Do you ever read books like these which are written for really young people but you enjoy them too?
Also, the book features a couple of pages on sanitary pads which is something that I haven't ever seen before in books for children. And I am glad that it was there.
I am a huge sports fan in general and cricket fan in particular and I don't find a lot of books that talk about cricket. So that was fun. I also liked the part about you idolize someone your entire life and then learning that they did something illegal. Though if you are looking for something deeper on that then this is not the book for you.
But do pick it up if you want to revisit your childhood, love cricket or want to read about friendships.
