The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond

A conventional coming-of-age tale that has held generations of readers spellbound! Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to stay together along with his English parent withinside the claustrophobic European component in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the stern methods of his parent, Rusty runs far from home to stay together with his Indian friends. Plunging for the primary time into the dream-brilliant world of the bazaar, Hindu fairs, and different factors of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted and is misplaced all the time to the prim proprieties of the European community. Written while the writer became himself seventeen, this transferring story of affection and friendship, with brand new creation and illustrations, can be loved via way of means by an entirely new era of readers.
