Arun and the Royal Rumpus | Eion Redahan | Kharidobechobooks

Would you rather have the body of a tiger and the head of a boy; or the body of a boy and the head of a tiger? (Arun wants to know)

When Arun; a twelve-year-old mischief maker hiding in the mountains; finds out about the plot to capture the crazy King Lalu; he vows to stop the vicious Vin and his thugs – by joining them.

Armed only with a pea-shooter; Arun journeys through treacherous terrain; eerie forests; rushing rivers and even the sewers of Asamana with the help of the quick-tempered Krishma and scrappy Sai.

Whether it's outsmarting the brutes; stealing a grouchy giant's keys; or trotting down a narrow mountain ledge on a one-eyed pony; Arun is ready to brave it all to save the king.

Brimming with humour and adventure; this is not just one boy's gritty tale of friendship; family and mayhem – it's a downright royal rumpus!
