Horses to Vijaynagar

This is an awesome and thrill inspiring book written by Monisha Mukundan, especially for young readers. But once you read it, you cannot stop reading it, for you yourself will be journeying with Manuela and Ferninand as they race away from their brother to Vijaynagar, where they seek a better life. You will come time by time again to read it, no matter what your age. I got this book as a school prize, and it is one of my most cherished books, and I do love to read it again and again. The story goes like, Manuela and her brother Ferninand are orphans living with their brother and without money. The opportunity to escape from their village in Goa and put an end to their misery comes in the form of Arabian horses bound for Vijaynagar. In a bid to slip out of the village turns into a thrilling adventure packed with challenges, as they find out that there is more to the horses than it just seems, and forces Manuela to disguise herself as a boy.
