The Third Eye

Join author Mahtab Narsimhan as she reads from her 2009 Silver Birch Fiction® Award winning novel, The Third Eye. Mahtab will also give a special sneak peak into the second book in the series, The Silver Anklet.

For Tara and her brother, Suraj, the year since their mother and grandfather fled the village of Morni in the middle of the night has been a nightmare. Their new stepmother is cruel and deceptive. What's more, men of the village have been disappearing, often returning in a strange, altered form.

When a new healer, Zarku, a mysterious man with a third eye possessing strange power, suddenly appears in Morni, all are mesmerized by his magic - all except Tara, who sees through his evil disguise...

A native of Mumbai (Bombay), Mahtab Narsimhan has always been fascinated by Indian mythology. She lives in Toronto with her husband, Rahul, and her son, Aftab.

This event is for kids aged 9-13.
