Book Band: Grey (Ideal for ages 8+)

More exciting detective adventures featuring Sindhu and Jeet by Chitra Soundar, author of over 50 children’s books in the UK, India and the US.

Sindhu and Jeet are back to solve more cases with observation, imagination and a whole load of legwork. Back home in Chennai after their adventures in London (which featured in Sindhu and Jeet’s Detective Agency), the detective work doesn’t stop! These page-turning stories are accompanied by black-and-white illustrations by Amberin Huq. The Sindhu and Jeet books can be read in any order.
