Aditi Adventures : The City of Lions – Suniti Namjoshi ( Book 9 )

In Aditi Adventures: The City of Lions (Book 9) by Suniti Namjoshi, Aditi and her companions journey to Singapore, the “City of Lions,” to help its squabbling guardians, Sir Leon and the Old Woman under the Sea, whose constant bickering is putting the city in peril. The young lion cub Gardy is central to the plot, as he wonders if he is the prophesied lost prince meant to save the city. The primary challenge for the group is to make the arrogant and crotchety guardians realize that their own conflict is the root cause of the danger. Ultimately, the story is a philosophical adventure that delves into the nature of perception and reality, prompting readers to consider what it means to “see clearly”—whether it involves predicting the future, accepting the present, or envisioning how things ought to be.
