Ruskin Bond Looking for the Rainbow: My Years with Daddy

If you're building a home library for a young reader, Ruskin Bond Looking for the Rainbow: My Years with Daddy by Ruskin Bond is an easy addition. It's a paperback pitched at ages 9 - 16 years, with the kind of clear storytelling that kids follow without help.

What it's about

At age eight, Ruskin escapes his jail-like boarding school in the hills and goes to live with his father in Delhi. His time in the capital is filled with books, visits to the cinema, music, and walks, and conversations with his father—a dream life for a curious and wildly imaginative boy, which turns tragic all too soon.

For years, Ruskin Bond has regaled and mesmerized readers with his tales. In Looking for the Rainbow, Bond travels to his own past, recalling his favorite adventures (and misadventures) with extraordinary charm, splotches of wit, a pinch of poignance, and not a trace of bitterness.
