At first I thought this would just be a story about a trip, but I was pleasantly surprised that the author included a fun story about Asia’s adventure. It included fun sites but it also wrapped a sweet little story into it as well.

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024
I had the pleasure of visiting Istanbul many years ago, and this book brought back all of my wonderful memories. The descriptions of the different points to visit a boat ride along the Bosporus River, the Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar - all described so wonderfully. And, I enjoyed the mystery thrown into the experience. This was a treat! Thank you!

The adventures of Asva in Istanbul is a really interesting fiction for kids. The story beautifully combines values of compassion, family and friendship with Geography education, while retaining the fictional thrill! The book covers the key landmarks and some significance through various stops of Asva's adventure journey. The author's imagination is captivating and my daughter followed the entire story with keen interest. Apart from learning about Istanbul and enjoying the thrill, the book taught about new friendships, compassion , family bonding and joy experienced through acts of kindness. I've not found a lit of books books which address all these aspects so beautifully for young readers! Looking forward to more such wonderful books from the author.
