Book description
'Sometimes the forces of evil are so dark that no single spell can
defeat them.' Cosy Castle is far from 'cosy'. In fact, it is a boxy,
grey building where children walk on tippy toes from fear of the
dreadful 'dragon' and the crotchety 'crone'. With Nivi Mallik's arrival
at Cosy Castle, the rules start to change. The bimbli trees become the
hang-out spot for two giggly girls and the driveway is a permanent
cricket pitch for the boys. But the happy times are soon ended by the
'dragon' and the 'crone', who gang up against the children and declare
war on the bimbli trees. It will take a miracle to challenge the two
wily women, leave alone defeat them. But miracles happen only in fairy
tales…Or do they? Is it possible for fantasy-fan Nivi, geeky
boy-next-door Venu, bubbly Sarita and their three pint-sized comrades,
Nikhil, Vijay and Rehaan, to conquer an evil much beyond their power?
Join the six imaginative spellmakers as they use a very practical kind
of magic to conjure potent potions, summon unlikely fairies and engineer
a haunting... Does Cosy Castle finally become what it's called? Make
your way to Dorabji Street and find out… Shabnam Minwalla is a mother
of three. In the little off-time that this brain-scrambling job permits,
she writes articles and book reviews for magazines and newspapers.
Shabnam used to be a Senior Assistant Editor with the Times of India and
has also written a book on her alma mater, St Xavier's College in
Mumbai.
