My Brother Tootoo
By Urmila Mahajan | Illustrated by Preeta Suresh
?? A summer holiday that changes everything.
\nWhen Murli arrives at Mango Tree Lane, he quickly catches the attention of twelve-year-old Rini and her mischievous little brother Tootoo. At first, it’s all fun and games — but as the three wander into forbidden places and secrets begin to unravel, innocent adventures take a menacing turn.
\nTold partly through Rini’s diary entries, My Brother Tootoo is a gripping, multi-layered tale of curiosity, friendship, and danger lurking closer than expected. Suspenseful yet deeply human, this story leaves readers questioning what lies beneath ordinary neighbourhoods and familiar faces.
