Navin’s Eight-Hour Deadline: Meeting GS
The Hindu
Navin learns that his magical abilities are getting rusty. What can he do?
Story so far: Navin and his school group are brought to the palace of Greta Stewart, the head of the Magiker’s Society. They are asked to wait in a room.
Navin, sitting closest to Mr. Raman, pressed his teacher’s lips shut, ignoring Miss Radhika’s angry look. They heard the sound of pounding feet. An old lady in a purple sari plunged into the room.
“Who is Navin?” she asked breathlessly, looking worried.
“I’m Navin. Why are you looking for me?” he asked.
“There is some confusion. You are not supposed to be here,” the old lady replied.
“Why?” Navin shrieked.
“Shh,” an old man poked his head into the room. “We are meditating. Please maintain silence.”
