Looking for Lord Ganesh by Mahtab Narsimhan
Anika has recently emigrated from India and is having a difficult time adjusting to life in a new country - not to menton life in a new school. Remebering the advice her grandmother gave her, she prays to Lord Ganesh, the Hindu elephant god. But Lord Ganesh is slow to respond and Anika takes to the internet to attract his attention. When her problems begin to resolve themselves, she can breathe a sigh of relief. But has Lord Ganesh truly been helping her, or has she been relying on her own inner wisdom all along?'Indian mythology gets a contemporary twist in this poignant story about friendship, fitting in, and a young girl's struggle to stand up for what's right' - Deborah Kerbel, award-winning author of Under the Moon
'Once again we're completely dazzled by a Lantana book, this time delving into the rich culture of India and the ancient gods which are still a huge part of Indian life... A really brilliant and original moral tale bringing Lord Ganesh bang up to date for a modern audience. Very cool book this!' - Phil and Charlotte, ReadItDaddy
'A lovely tale of friendship and resolution. Beautifully illustrated, this is a great addition to the Lantana catalogue.' - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch
This charming story explores how it feels to be new and want to fit in. But it also considers loyalty and sticking to one's beliefs... A lovely story about finding inner strength, Looking for Lord Ganesh also offers the perfect starting point to find out more about Lord Ganesh and other Hindu deities.' - North Somerset Teachers' Book Award blog
'Vibrant colours and swirling images mingle traditional and contemporary. Anika's central dilemma...is resolved in a scene of tolerance and inclusion...with a final twist.' - Uma Krishnaswami, award-winning author of Book Uncle and Me.
