Product description

The Magic of the Lost Earrings: A New i Adventure by Sudha Murty is a heartwarming children's book that masterfully weaves history, mystery, and family bonds.

Marking the author's milestone 50th publication, this third installment in the beloved i series follows the titular protagonist as she stumbles upon a pair of antique earrings.

What starts as a simple vacation with her grandparents, Ajja and Ajji, quickly evolves into a cross-continental quest to find the rightful owner.

The narrative beautifully shifts from the fast-paced city of Bangalore to the sacred ghats of Ujjain, the historic streets of Amritsar, Delhi, and eventually London.

Murty utilises this travel-infused adventure to introduce young readers to heavy historical themes, including the emotional strain of India's Partition and immigration, doing so with remarkable gentleness and restraint.

Through i's modern handling of digital bookings paired with Ajji's historical tales, the book bridges generational gaps seamlessly.

Written in Murty's trademark simple, accessible prose, the story emphasizes core values like integrity, curiosity, and resilience.

Enhanced by breathtaking illustrations, this captivating story is for anyone seeking an enriching, culturally rooted story.
