Recommendations for reads to captivate a 10-year-old girl and an almost-12-year-old boy? (Both are somewhat reluctant readers, but I'm trying to change that.) 📚

I'm sorry, but I have to DNF the Seven Basic Plots (at least for now). It's too sweepingly generalistic and overly deeply steeped in a deep western tradition for me to sink into it.

"Dil behal to jayega is khyal se...haal mil gaya tumhara apne haal se" is one of the most devastatingly romantic lines ever written in song.
Since we're doing some of our favourite Dharmendra songs in honour of his passing today. Here's one of mine - even though it was one of his earlier films, and he had only a 'special appearance', he was in this song and not Rajesh Khanna like it says on YouTube!

In honour of Dharmendra, a Bollywood giant, who died today, I give you one of my all time favourite Bollywood songs - Aaj Mausam from 'Loafer' (1973). He starred in 300 films over 65 years.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”
