Book Review – Detective Kids

Published

on

Krishang Saharia

Detective, we resonate with someone who is a diligent undercover, enigmatic private or presumably sharp. Holding power to serenely dissect and scrutinise everything around. The more complex the game is to be solved, the more excitement it ensues for them. Krishang Saharia, a thirteen-year-old boy, catapulted children into detectives titled ‘Detective Kids’, which fluidly can get hold of the minds.

Embroidered with mystery and thrill, the ‘Detective Kids’ hurls through solving two events, ‘Strange Sound in the Moors’ and ‘Adventure of Mount Villa’. The former complements/adjuncts the scene at the camping site, which is more in action, with incidents falling in time. Raising inquisitiveness about what to happen next, how they reunite with their lost cousin Gandiel and unleash the kidnappers. The latter questions the concept of ‘Trust’. Befriending Robert, his engagement in unethical doings drives kids to uncover the delinquency.

‘Detective Kids’ is a well-thought and articulated testimony of a young author’s mind balancing the elements of adventure. The plot is fast-moving and gripping, characterisation is increasingly subjective and individualised, and the climax is nonetheless sensational.

The cover page is set in the camp with kids revelling, and Bruno, the pup self-energising, sets the tone and matches the vibrancy of crayon strokes. As the saying goes, seldom you will find anyone who is not interested in the work of a detective. Yes, the author with his book connects with the readers mysteriously.

Song

Sadaf
Class 5
Gitanjali Vedika School
(Budding Writer attending Takhte’s Creative Writing Sessions)

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 1
Sunlight shines on morning dew,
A fresh day and a hopeful hue.
Let’s leave behind the darkness of night,
And step into the morning bright.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 2
Mistakes are made; Doubts may come up,
But let’s rise above to blow it up.
With every sunrise being a new start,
A fresh beginning with a new heart.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away.

Verse 3
Learn from the lesson and let go of the pain,
Make sure it doesn’t happen again and again.
It’s a fresh day, and a new hope is born,
A brighter tomorrow, in a brand-new morn.

Chorus
Don’t let yesterday hold you back,
let’s get today on track.
Grab the new day,
And let yesterday fade away…
