We've been waiting for the next instalment of Ajay's adventures in our house since we fell in love with the first book (short-listed for the Waterstones prize). I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! We loved ‘Ajay and the Mumbai Sun’ in our household and we enjoyed ‘Ajay and the Jaipur Moon’ just as much. You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot!Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do.

Ajay chased it down, ducking past the railway guard blowing his whistle, around a woman in a midnight-blue sari glittering with tiny mirrors, and through two boys, playing with plastic rockets, to catch it. After all, it seems that Mrs Surya, director of the WECU space programme understands Ajay’s struggles and seeks to support each of the team. Thereafter, Varsha Shah offers a background history to her characters, from British colonialism to Jaipur, and then the space race too! I loved 'Ajay and the Mumbai Sun' and was delighted when the follow up, 'Ajay and the Jaipur Moon' was published. After studying Law at Cambridge University, she worked for several years as a solicitor and has written articles for publications including Legal Week, Legal Week Global, The Times Education Supplement, and the on-line edition of Harper's Bazaar.The fearless gang overcome obstacles and with Varsha Shah's great writing, it was like I was right beside them all. Billionaire Mrs Surya, CEO of WECU, will hand over not only the cash, but exclusive access to her secret space programme. This is a gripping and beautifully written book, full of adventure, humour, poignancy and characters so real you feel by the end of the book some of them have become your close friends. The spectacular sequel to Ajay and the Mumbai Sun , shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize! Finding an abandoned printing press, he and his friends Saif, Vinod, Yasmin and Jai create their own newspaper: The Mumbai Sun.
