VIVA BOOKS PRIVATE LIMITED Tashi Lost in The City - 11 by Anna Fienberg Barbara Fienberg Kim Gamble

A couple of years ago when my son was nine he got lost. He and I and a crowd of thousands were at Darling Harbour where there were bands playing and acrobats on stilts and people making passionate speeches. My son darted off to see a man juggling flaming swords and when he looked back everything had changed. There were only strangers masses of them where I used to be. He was lost for just seven minutes. It was the worst seven minutes of his life he tells me. It was the worst seven minutes of my life I can tell you. And when I told my mother his Grandma she said the only reason it wasnt the worst seven minutes of her life was because here we all were now sitting safely together on the sofa eating her banana cake. But I saw that little smile as Grandma Barbara gazed fondly at her grandson. I?m very familiar with that smile; it means a story is brewing. Poor Tashi was in for another adventure I knew it. He was going to get lost in a crowd. And not just for seven minutes. There would be acrobats all right and music but there would be also some very very bad men?
