Look inside

The first pages — with Arjun as the hero

انفتحت أبواب المطار، ووووش! لفّ هواءٌ دافئ أرجون كأنه مجفّف شعر عملاق. قالت ماما: «أهلًا بك في بيتنا الجديد.» لكنّ أرجون لم يكن متأكدًا.

The airport doors slid open and — whoosh! — warm air wrapped around Arjun like a giant hairdryer. “Welcome to our new home,” said Mama. Arjun wasn’t so sure.

كانت الشقة الجديدة عاليةً في برج طويل. لكنّ الألعاب ما زالت في الصناديق، واشتاق أرجون إلى غرفته القديمة، وشارعه القديم، وأصدقائه البعيدين.

The new flat was high up in a tall tower. But the toys were still in boxes, and Arjun missed the old bedroom, the old street, and friends far away.
