{"product_id":"the-burning-elephant-by-christopher-raja","title":"The Burning Elephant by Christopher Raja","description":"An escaped elephant enters Govinda's schoolyard, and frightens everyone. The young boy watches on in horror as the elephant is shot and then cremated. Is this a sign for dark days ahead? He has been having a hard time trying to please his father, the headmaster, and figure out his mother - something seems wrong with her but Govinda is not sure what. Mumbles, the family's cook, is a Sikh and worried about the violence on the streets against members of his religion. In The Burning Elephant, we step into Govinda's Calcutta, a world which revolves around the magic and menace of Serpent Lane, just beyond the school gates, and spins out into a city and country in crisis, when the Prime Minister is assassinated. This is a story of how the terrors of life can crash into adolescence and how innocence, once lost, can never be regained.\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781922146922\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giramondo Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43015234093119,"sku":null,"price":17.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/9880343482872.jpg?v=1773739944","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/the-burning-elephant-by-christopher-raja","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
