Join intrepid heroes and dauntless heroines in their quest for survival against earthquakes; fire; floods and bombs! Live life on the edge with five stories of danger and adventure. Flee with Romi as he rides his cycle straight into the river to escape a fearsome forest fire; listen in to Ruth's hair-raising story of escape from rioting sepoys during the uprising of 1857; read about the author's miraculous flight from Java as Japanese planes bombard the city; witness the havoc wreaked by the deadliest earthquake ever in Rakesh's town; Shillong; and watch Sita combat a fatal flood that threatens to engulf her. Thrilling plots; daring protagonists; explosive exploits-this book has it all! Written in Ruskin Bond's inimitable style; with doses of humour and excitement; these extraordinary stories are simply unputdownable.
