Swami is used to a simple life, and just when he had it under control, new things start to happen for him. He has to prepare for exams, cope with his new baby brother, and his new high school certainly hasn't gotten of to a very good start. Life starts to get very overwhelming, and Swami might just have to run away. This is one Indian novel, that isn't just about snake charmers and tigers, and is one of the world's best English novels by an Indian author
Swami and Friends is the second book in the Malgudi Schooldays series. RK Narayan has woven together, all from the depths of his own imagination, the magical village of Malgudi in India. But the best thing is, you don't have to have read the first book to understand this one. Can be read by anyone, anytime and anywhere. Whatever the village is up to, whether it's strikes or cricket matches it will have you in fits of laughter. And if you (like Swami) are one of those people who rush through homework in the morning, then this is definitely one for you!
