Discover the magic of the lost temple

Are you a curious reader, ready to explore the depths of the magic hidden in the lost temple of Karnataka? Are you ready to join Nooni as she travels around to discover the answers to her questions? If yes, then this book, 'The Magic of the Lost Temple' is a must have. Nooni is a city girl who is very surprised at the unexpected pace of life in her grandparent’s village in the state of Karnataka. Not being fazed with the turn of events, she engages herself in many of the odd jobs that are available in the village. She resorts to doing work like Papad making, organising enjoyable picnics, learning to ride a cycle and a long list of activities with her new found friends.

Join Nooni as things get complex and she discovers something really exciting

Things get far from exciting when Nooni comes across a very ancient stepwell that is located right in the middle of a forest. As she tries to discover the mystery behind this well, the story takes a drastic turn when she unravels things she didn't envisage before. Join Nooni as she unfolds the secrets linked to this stepwell along with her friends as they bask in the experience of a lifetime.

Unfold the secrets hidden in the forest

Join the very curious character of Nooni as she unfolds the mystery behind the stepwell. Her incessant urge to abstracting information is what leads her on this adventure. This much awaited book by Sudha Murty is indeed a heart-warming read.

This is the first book of sudha murthy, I am reading.
I liked it so much that I finished in just 2 & half days...!
She described so beautifully a journey of her grand daughter to a village in so easy words.
As I am pregnant now I become choosy in reading books, & here I am love to read her book as well love her way of thinking & describing small matters in so easy way...
I started to read her other books as well I ordered lots of books of her.. Right now I am reading her book "Man ni vato" (*in Gujarati language).
So inspirational & make you learn so many things.
I would highly recommend every book of her..

Sometimes it is so easy to read and get lost in a children's fiction ...

Reviewed in India on 4 April 2018

Young children will identify with Nooni's freedom of living as she wants in the village, with no routine to follow. They are sure to sympathize with her feeling of abandonment when her parents leave her at her grandparent's home due to their busy professional lives and their inability to take her for a vacation.

The main problem that Nooni faces is her inability to go ahead with the entire excavation of the ruins she and her friends stumbled upon by chance despite having an eighteen-year-old boy in their team of children. This is similar to most of the problems children usually face in which they have to take the help of the elderly or the experienced to achieve certain goals.

Though hesitant at first, she ultimately solves the problem by involving her grandparents, who in turn involve the village people as well as her parents, in order to get the job done.

Sometimes it is so easy to read and get lost in a children's fiction too, despite being an adult. Like in this book, especially at my age, I can feel my thoughts being reflected by the main (young) character, about 'How is it possible for everyone to be at the top?' while she remembers her father's words about how 2000 people apply where 20 vacancies are there for a job and how you have to be at the top, in order to get a good job!

Disappointing!

Reviewed in India on 15 March 2021

Verified Purchase

We have read grandma stories by this author which was fairly good. This book however was very disappointing. The blurb of the story mentions of an adventure but there is none. It has a few chapters dedicated to flowers and plants with their medicinal and other uses. A lot about the protagonist's life in the city vs. village. The life of her parents and of her grandparents etc. The so called adventure barely begins and ends in the final chapter.

Title :The magic of lost temple
Author : Sudha Murthy
Genre : Fiction
Pages : 203
My rating : 3 ⭐⭐⭐ 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 It is a story about twelve year old girl name Nooni.
She spent her time with her grandparents.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is definitely one of the good novels for children. The story is engaging and captivating. There are so many things for kids to read and learn from the story. The books teach us about the village life and culture, the fauna and flora of forests, the virtue of respecting elders, culminating good and healthy relationship with friends. The unity and generosity of Ajji, Ajja, and all the villagers to help the archaeological people inspire us to be helpful to others.

Loved Sudha Murthy for portraying North Karnataka culture so beautifully

Reviewed in India on 4 April 2021

Verified Purchase

It tells the story of a kid who gets to spend time at her granny’s place in coastal Karnataka (Goa to Mangalore belt). Each region has different practices and chores so it is a good refresher for anyone who has done same things in his/her childhood.

Any kid who loves mythological stories is going to cherish this book but this becomes
mode special if he/she gets grandparents from South India as kid gets to do all the things mentioned in book.

I got friends from various states & cultures so my
family could related to it very easily. All of us loved every bit of this book.
