Why read it?
1 author picked Flute in the Forest as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Nature and wildlife are something I always enjoyed, and loved from my school days.
Flute in the Forest is a truly memorable story, mesmerizing and beautiful, rooted in the landscape of South India’s forests.
It focuses on Atiya Sardare, a daughter of a forest officer, and her treks into the forest. It is on these treks she hears the sound of a flute playing, and resolves to learn to play it.
Atiya’s flute playing calms a rogue elephant in the forest, Rangappa. I recommend it to anyone who loves a moving story.
From Vikas' list on YA from India with a great slice of Indian culture.
