Maya Mehta is unlike the other children in her class. She is an artist, has trouble reading and writing and has a mudskipper as an admirer. Her friendship with her dream-horse, Flower, helps Maya find the real person behind all her insecurities.
This book took 15 years to write. Mostly autobiographical, it describes how difficult life can be for a non-achieving child in a world full of genius. The book is alive with outlandish characters like Fa Fa Kotan the Indian witch, who lives in a jungle beside a ditch….and the little mudskipper, who is in love with Maya. Flower, Maya’s dream horse and the humans who make up the fabric of her delicate life are mostly real-life people who carried Dheera through her childhood of bewilderment.
