In our session we talked about her recent book, ASmash it Butterfingers which is the 7 book in the series.



ABOUT THE BOOK-

There's a lot going on in Green Park School. Ozymandias, a black cat, walks into classrooms and there's a buzz about a badminton tournament that is to be played on Friday the thirteenth.


Sponsored by Brijesh K. Singh, an eccentric multimillionaire who loves badminton and hates superstitions, this tournament is good news for sports-crazy Amar Kishen, aka Butterfingers, and his friends.


Badminton practice begins, but can it be smooth sailing with talk of scams, superstitions and suspicions? Butterfingers sure has a lot on his hands!
