    Congratulations to your sister and I am sure children will like the book very much. Children are quite stressed these days and often with both parents working they cannot spend quality time with anyone at home which is always essential. Stories keep children enthralled and when this time Xerxes is dealing with the issues faced by many children I feel Xerxes will have more fans.

    My best wishes for the success of the sequel and for your sister too and I hope she will continue enthralling the readers through her writing.

    Releasing a book is always a matter of happiness for the writers. As this is a sequel, I hope, it will be followed by other one in the series. Writing a book is a great effort and takes years to complete. I offer my good wishes for the success of the book and in fact the whole series and wish all the good luck to the writer.

    Thanks, everyone for your warm wishes. The first book sold a good number of copies, and the publishers liked the draft of the story of the sequel and hence agreed to publish that as well. We were so thrilled for her when they sent an affirmative to have it published! It took many months, naturally, from the draft to the publication and we were happy that the illustrator Niloufer Wadia, too, provided beautiful sketches with great attention to tiny details mentioned in the story. She was the illustrator for the previous book as well and in this one, more pictures are to be seen. Yesterday we celebrated by wearing yellow to match the book's cover and ordered flowers, cake, and mithai to surprise her. It was a truly memorable day.

    Arafatuzzafar - I think you have not seen the image properly or checked the earlier thread, otherwise, you would have got my sister's name properly, as also the price of the book. Her name is Madhuri and the book's price is Rs.250/-. The Kindle version is available for Rs.199/-.
