'I raced up and down the street looking in doorways and behind stalls. But there was no Grandma.'
Adventurous little Tashi braves the perils of the big city when he and Grandma find themselves lost and far from their village in the 11th installment in the Tashi series. Young Tashi fans will cheer for their hero as he takes on a one-eyed kidnapper, bungling brigands, and other perils in the bustling marketplace.

Tashi's bold! Tashi's brave! Tashi's the best!
Jack has an extraordinary imaginary friend Tashi, a gnome-like character from a place very far away. He arrived here on a swan (it doesn't matter what colour!), he has quite a way with witches and warlords, and he's not afraid of giants or robber barons. Although he's small and not very old, he comes up with some cunning plans in tight situations! And he tells the very best stories.
Addressing themes of courage, curiosity, adventure, daring, and good triumphing over bad, the Tashi series will keep young readers - and young listeners - enthralled with engaging tales and charming illustrations.
