Yours've reached the age at which people in this family cross the border into the magical world. Itrs's your turn for an adventure-yes, itrs's finally here!' So says Haroun to his younger brother, twelve-year-old Luka, in Salman Rushdiers's thrilling, delightful, lyrically crafted fable for the young and young at heart. The adventure begins one beautiful starry night in the land of Alifbay, where a terrible thing happens: Lukars's father, Rashid, the legendary storyteller of Kahani, falls suddenly and inexplicably into a sleep so deep that nothing and no one can rouse him. To save him from slipping away entirely, Luka must embark on a journey through the world of magic with his loyal companions, Bear the dog and Dog the bear, as they encounter a slew of fantastical creatures, strange allies, and challenging obstacles along the way-all in the hopes of stealing the Fire of Life, a seemingly impossible and exceedingly treacherous task. Filled with frolicking wordplay and unexpected twists, and fueled by the power of words and the imagination, this is Salman Rushdie at his best.
