About The Adventures Of Stoob: Testing Times

"The laugh-out-loud account of ten-year-old Stoob’s Incredibly Dangerous Exam Adventure featuring a boy, his friends, his parents and a most villainous crow." "It’s February, and Stoob is glad that he’s almost done with Class Five—given the not-so-great year he has been having, middle school can only be an improvement. But just before he can heave a final sigh of relief, there’s an announcement: the class test marks have all been cancelled, and getting through to middle school depends on one giant exam! " "And that’s how it starts, the whole nightmare that his future biographers will call Stoob’s Incredibly Dangerous Exam Adventure. His life is turned upside down when his parents don’t want him to do anything other than study, his friends Ishani and Rehan suddenly go all pious and goody-goody-study-buddy, and best friend Prithvi comes up with a Top Secret Plan to ace the exams without studying. Add to that a crow and some monkeys out to get him, and Stoob is about ready to have a nervous breakdown." "From bestselling author Samit Basu, this is one adventure that anyone who has ever taken an exam won’t want to miss. " Interestin Facts " • Like Jeff Kinney’s Greg Heffley from the Wimpy Kid series, Stoob is one of the funniest as well as truest voices of a pre-teen to be written in Indian children’s writing. • With characters and situations that every child and even parent will relate to, The Adventures of Stoobseries will have readers laughing out loud and asking for more. • The first book in the new series from the bestselling and internationally acclaimed author of Turbulenceand the Simoqin Prophecy series, Testing Timesis easy to read and humorous with wonderful black and white sketches by Sunaina Coelho that add to the fun.
