Tweens going on mythical, magical adventures but written in absolutely beautiful, clever prose. Lots of books with similar themes are written in much more simplistic language, since they’re written for kids to read. I’ve read these two Rushdie books to my kid and I genuinely enjoyed the experience of reading them aloud as much as we both loved the stories themselves. I’d love to find similar stories written for his age but that are genuinely good story telling with intricate beautiful language like Rushdie.
