The School Days - Ruskin Bond (2010)

This book is different. The author collects a few stories from various periods, some well-known and some not so. All the stories are of adolescent kids, mostly from their school life. I found the two Indian stories from the author interesting. The other stories were sometimes difficult to follow. One could attribute it to the lack of understanding of the culture and context.

Overall, a good collection. It will introduce the kids to a multicultural adventure.
