Book Details
A summer holiday brings Murli to Mango Tree Lane – an elusive outsider in the neighbourhood of grouchy Colonel Sinha, tight-fisted Rice Aunty and the snoopy Aunty duo. Twelve-year-old Rini and her little brother Tootoo are intrigued by the new boy. But innocent games soon turn into menacing ones as the three of them begin venturing into territories once forbidden. Glimpses into Rini’s diary look back at the haunting memories of events that escalate to a point of no return. A gripping, multi-layered story that spells out how danger can be real and close.
