The second book in The Adventures of the Flying Magic Jharokha series, Poachers in Paradise is Vayu and Deeya’s second adventure to find the second (out of three) keys to free their Uncle Jadoo from an evil djinn (spirit).
To help fulfill their mission, Jhoky, the magic flying window, takes the children to Kashmir where they befriend a Kashmiri girl, Zoon and her dog, Chimpu.
Poachers are out hunting for the native Kashmiri deer, hangul, for its beautiful antlers. Vayu and Deeya, along with Zoon and Chimpu, help get the poachers arrested.
Bearing semblance to the Magic Treehouse series, this series is easy to read for readers who have reading skills. I like this series because it not only whisks off readers on exciting adventures, but also gives them information about things unique to the place visited. For instance, this story acquaints readers with things local to Kashmir - the hangul deer, kahwa (local tea), pheran (traditional dress for women) and wazwan (traditional feast).
I highly recommend this series for ages 6+ or anyone who loves the Magic Treehouse series.
