Nush & Stolen Emerald

A stunning new historical children’s novel from Costa Award-winning author of Asha & the Spirit Bird.

Nush is maharani of an Indian kingdom. The British East India Company has already taken land and their most divine jewel – an emerald the size of a small apple.

When the Maharajah decides to go to England to ask Queen Victoria for help, Nush stows away on her father’s ship.

This is her moment to shine – and bring back the emerald that will heal the kingdom . . .

• A fabulous new historical direction from Costa-winning and Waterstones-shortlisted author, Jasbinder Bilan.
• Themes of colonialism and identity, mixed with an action-packed royal mystery.
