Publisher's Summary:
Hill Mansion wasn't really a mansion; it was just a ramshackle hut on a small hill. But for Robert Pereira, it was better than any place he had seen in his village, Golvada. His chaddi buddies Anand and Baloo lived there with their elder brother Dattya - his hero and the village cricket team captain. Robert had named their hut Hill Mansion, moved by love for his buddies. It didn't matter to him that they were the sons of a domestic help.
Robert loved Hill Mansion more than his own modern house because the poor but strong residents of Hill Mansion had given him the courage to live and fight, bestowing on him the pet name Samson. On the other hand, his siblings and village bullies made fun of his clumsiness and weakness and nicknamed him Pondya - an indolent, feeble fellow.
Will Robert be able to fight the village bullies and erase the shameful Pondya tag? Will his love for his buddies stand the test of time and social barriers as he grows up?
Chaddi Buddies is a tender story of friendship, love and brotherhood, loosely based on the author's childhood, which will kindle sweet memories as you listen.

Heart Warming and Thought Provoking
Enjoyed reading this book and could not put it down. It is written from the eyes of an 8 year old, then journeys through his life capturing how life can change all of us. It brought back a lot of childhood memories of my own. It warms your heart and moistens your eyes a few times.
The book captures some touching moments in a child's life, struggling with insecurities and bullying. It also encapsulates life in a small village (where he grew up), and brings to life how kids of all backgrounds and religions dwell together in harmony, despite strong influences that make a small child wonder, yet secretly hold his own opinions and come to terms with reality.
Don't want to talk more about the book, least I give out the whole story...
I am sure you will enjoy the book!
