Lost between worlds by Soumya Gudiyella is an adventure book, where Soumya Gudiyella makes Varun a noble character in the story, Varun narrates the beginning of the story, he found himself somewhere unfamiliar to him, he is lost, he tries to understand what's going on, if it's a dream but it appears not, he soon found out after getting a letter from his amma, he's in the time travel world and he's to journey with Spot(a pet) and avani(the virtual assistant of the time travel machine). The letter discomfort him, telling him that he needs to journey home figuring out things by himself, he starts his journey by finding his current location using the help of Avani, he opens a door, which should be an entrance into earth, he meets a young boy and a panther, but he couldn't communicate with him, only by using gestures, he called him Mowgli and he named the panther, Bagheera. They had great fun in the jungle, meeting other friends like baloo the bear, chotu the elephant.

The story unfold the truth behind Varun being lost in the time travel machine, the exchange of Radha for Varun happened when a stubborn student of Vivek class decided to go into the machine without notifying anyone, so he was expelled, but the boy revenge by putting his wife, Radha there, so the Godness of deceit, Maya, demand for the exchange, when Varun turns ten. So Varun mishap was tied to his father''s love for his mother.

I love this book, as it goes on and on, I just love it, it gets to the part where Varun get into another book journey but this time with Sindbad the sailor and flying carpet, that's so cool, would love that the story continued but it ends with the hunt for Varun by Maya and his servant Vajra.

I recommend this book to all children ranging from age 5 to 12 years old, to enjoy it educative, insightful and adventurous story, what the child will benefit from this story will be unattainable from the classroom, the child will learn that no matter what condition life has put you into don't be discouraged. A great future awaits you, that what I think Maya saw in Arun.
