I am eagerly looking forward to reading the other books in the Rusty series. Ruskin Bond has once again proved that he is a master storyteller, and I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who loves a good adventure story with a touch of humour and magic. Overall, Rusty and the Magic Mountain is a delightful read that is sure to win Rusty a whole new band of followers. The characters are well-developed, and their interactions with each other add to the overall charm of the book. The story is filled with funny moments, but it also has a magical quality that is both charming and captivating. What I loved most about this book is the author's ability to weave together humour and enchantment seamlessly. Each obstacle presents a new challenge for Rusty and his friends, making for a thrilling adventure that keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles, including a haunted rest house, a tiger, and a hilarious mule ride, which takes them to the palace of a mad rani. The story follows Rusty and his friends Pitamber and Popat on their quest to climb a mysterious mountain that is shrouded in legend and superstition. As a fan of Ruskin Bond's writing, I was eagerly looking forward to my first ever Rusty adventure, and it did not disappoint. I recently read Rusty and the Magic Mountain by Ruskin Bond, and I must say, it was an absolute delight to read. Though on the surface it is an adventure story of three young boys but there are certain philosophical musings interweaved with the broad tale. As a result, while reading, one is able to immerse oneself completely in the surroundings crafted by the author. The author is a keen observer and successfully captures the sights and sounds of nature through his words. I particularly find these books very relaxing. The thrill of adventure, a bit of fantasy and magic and Ruskin Bond's signature humourous style makes it an enjoyable read.Though the book is meant primarily for young adults but Ruskin Bond's magic works well on everyone. Rusty and his two friends, Popat and Pitamber, set out on an adventure to the Magic Mountain which is mired in mystery and tales of the supernatural.On the way they take refuge in a haunted forest rest house, manage to escape the jaws of a hungry man-eater and experience an amusing mule ride up the mountains to a deserted, dilapidated palace inhabited by an old mad queen and her flock of crows.
