These thirteen classic stories by nalini Das originally appeared in a reputed Bengali magazine Sandesh and have been translated in English by Swapna Dutta, children’s writer.
Kali, Malu, Bulu and Tulu comprise the Lu Quartet and each have their own specific qualities that help them contribute to the team. One hates adventures, other is an expert in rescuing the team from sticky situations, one reads a lot of stories and one loves maths and takes the lead in suspicious situations.
The four sleuths lead us to an exciting adventure of mysteries that they solve very cleverly and logically, often requiring quick thinking and going bravely ahead in scary looking situations.
A mysterious noise seems to scare them of of their wits….
Malu of the quartet disappears one day into thin air…
Kalu leads the team in the labyrinth of the cave in Cherrapunji…
The quartet discover an ancient scrap of paper that seemed to be torn from a diary and had strange stuff written on it, just begging to be explored…
We also have a ghost in a Tibetian cave…of course hill people believe in ghosts…so they must be present…
Nandan Kanan has been written about in the newspaper…
We also encounter a haunted house, a Jade Buddha and apparently Malu was Rani Roopmati in her previous life.
