Review:

In search of home is a story of Dev who is an orphan who gets a chance to go to the boarding school where he meets Rehaan.
Dev’s life changes a little every time he tries to solve the mysteries of his past. Will he find home?.

Well, it’s a good book with an interesting plot. The narration of the story is crisp and interesting. It’s a story narrated from the perspective of an eleven years boy who wants to find who gave him a chance to go to the boarding school.

The writing style of the authors is engaging. One can relate to the situations well. How dev felt when he was asked about his parents. The story was a bit slow-paced for me with too many unnecessary details which made it a Lil boring.

Various Themes like love, friendship, loneliness, mystery, are used by the author. The way the author describes the emotions is commendable. What I liked was the storyline of the book.

The way Dev evolved mentally and emotionally, is wonderfully narrated by the author. There are poems that made this book more interesting. It’s a bit slow-paced book.

The well-developed characters and the drama made this book more intriguing. The cover and the title of the book is amazing. Overall, it’s a simple and beautiful story. A light read.
