Byla k smrti unavená. Lehla si na zem a zabořila hebkou hlavu do měkkých pracek. Zapadající slunce jí olízlo čenich. Sníh ji přikryl jako tlustá deka. Liška se probudí a vydá se na cestu. Putuje přes led a sníh, přes hory a zamrzlé oceány, potkává lední medvědy a ptáky v záři nekonečného světla polárního dne. Bojuje o svoje místo ve světě, který je ohromný, divoký a plný překvapení. Leila mezitím vyráží na svou vlastní pouť - hledá si cestu k matce, která ji opustila, a k jejich společné minulosti, na kterou se tolik let snažila zapomenout. Dechberoucí plavba severním ledovým oceánem pomůže Leile najít matku, o které si myslela, že ji dávno ztratila, ale především i sebe samu. A k tomu jí dopomůže jedna odhodlaná malá liška. Inspirováno skutečným příběhem polární lišky, která za pouhých 76 dní překonala vzdálenost přes 3200 kilometrů a došla z Norska do Kanady. Toto dojemné, neodolatelné a překrásně ilustrované zpracování v podání autorů Julie a žraloka je vhodné pro čtenáře od 9 let.

Sampath Chawla was born in a time of drought that ended with a vengeance the night of his birth. All signs being auspicious, the villagers triumphantly assured Sampath''s proud parents that their son was destined for greatness.Twenty years of failure later, that unfortunately does not appear to be the case. A sullen government worker, Sampath is inspired only when in search of a quiet place to take his nap. "But the world is round," his grandmother says. "Wait and see! Even if it appears he is going downhill, he will come up the other side. Yes, on top of the world. He is just taking a longer route." No one believes her until, one day, Sampath climbs into a guava tree and becomes unintentionally famous as a holy man, setting off a series of events that spin increasingly out of control. A delightfully sweet comic novel that ends in a raucous bang, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard is as surprising and entertaining as it is beautifully wrought.
