Searching for the Songbird

Kastura, the Songbird, has disappeared. She is the prime suspect of a burglary in the Himalayan foothills, and twelve-year-old Johnny Raut is determined to find her and prove her innocence. The problem is that he has just moved to the mountains from Mumbai, and knows almost nothing about his new surroundings. While coping also with his parents' separation, he joins forces with three of his classmates and sets out to find the missing Songbird.
                                                                                                                                       As Johnny solves the mystery of her disappearance, he must also come to terms with his own fears, understand the social prejudices that affect people close to him, and become familiar with the songs and sounds of this alien environment.
