Synopsis

Eight-year-old Kittu’s life suddenly changes in unimaginable ways one summer with the arrival of Sneaker Paati, who is a distant relative of his father. She arrives to take care of him while his parents are travelling. From the time he first glimpses Sneaker Paati doing a perfect headstand, Kittu is completely awed and mesmerized by this uber cool, super stylish and incredibly knowledgeable figure (imagine a grandmother who speaks Japanese as perfectly as she does a breaststroke and also bakes a mean chocolate cake!) The book takes us on a fabulous adventure as Kittu and his best friend, Bunty, hurtle through myriad situations, from standing up to the neighbourhood bully to forging unexpected new friendships along the way.
