Description:

Hungry to Read is a warm and relatable Indian children's novel by Arti Sonthalia, published by Scholastic India, perfect for young reluctant readers. Third-grader Arjun is a Maths whiz — but when it comes to books, he is firmly in the Snail group, the slowest readers in class. When his teacher announces an inter-section reading competition, with an overnight school stay and a telescope view of the solar system as the prize, Arjun desperately wants to help his class win. The problem? He simply cannot bring himself to pick up a book. Meanwhile, Annika from the rival section is racing through titles at lightning speed. Can Arjun discover a book that actually speaks to him before it's too late? A charming, encouraging story that celebrates the idea that there is a book out there for every kind of reader. Recommended for readers aged 8 and above.
