Bim and the Town of Falling Fruit

By Arjun Talwar

In Poondy, fruits are always falling on people's heads-from the jackfruit, coconut and toddy trees-causing many injuries. So all the Poondizens wear fruit-helmets invented by the legendary Falwala. Bim loves Poondy, with its falling fruits, its Wise Man and its barber-detective.

Then one day, Miss Chitty, Bim's mother, who drives a coffee-coloured taxi, decides to move away from Poondy. Bim's last two weeks in his home town are full of strange and exciting adventures-from a bat attack to a bike theft-that can only happen here

Arjun Talwar's debut novel is a mad and hilarious romp through a town filled with eccentric people. It is brought to vivid life by Shilpa Ranade's beautiful illustrations.
