Book About:

Bardia and his parents recently moved in to a 27-storey apartment complex. The parents work long hours and Bardia stays home alone after school. He stammers and his class-mates make fun of him. He is always hurt and annoyed and his best friend is his hamster. One of their neighbors, Ms. Soori always comes out of nowhere when Bardia goes out or comes back home. When Bardia’s hamster vanished, Ms. Soori told Bardia that she knows Goolakhs took his pet. Soori gave him a cloak full of stopples and caps and sent him to the land of Goolakh and fight Kootoolakh the King. After much adventure and danger even, Bardi and his hamster found themselves free and on their way to run away. Soori told Bardi not to taste anything in Goolakh Land. He didn’t listen, tasted a strange fruit and now his ears have grown long. He is the chosen wizard, but he now faces a real problem: what if his parents see his ears and what if Goolakhs come back to take revenge from the Prince? In this volume, Bardia discovers many new and exciting things about himself and the world and people around him.

Author About:

The author’s prose is fluent and appealing to young readers. Rajabi’s imagination is present and has created a narrative unprecedented in Iran’s contemporary young adults’ literature. Elements of modern urban spaces entangled with mystery and wizardry, friendship and trust, responsibility and fear build the framework of this breath-taking trilogy. The illustrations of the series are an added value, for they accompany the readers to a new world of monsters and talking horses and fruits which make your ears grow long. Along the way, Bardia finds friendship in the strangest of places. His best friend is a weird girl who is tough and honest and sometimes, angry. She has had a tough life and does not remember her past quite well. Her cactus helps them a lot in their quest to defeat the Goolakhs and save the world. Mania is a very special girl, who finds out about her mother and her ancestors and… her father.
