With an authentic Indian backdrop, this is a feel-good story of young kids chasing big dreams that shimmers with all of Alexander McCall Smith’s trademark optimism and joy. It is an outlook on life that makes him one of the world’s best-loved storytellers.

Hari and His Electric Feet follows Hari, a dreamer with an unusual talent. He spends the few coins he earns washing cars on cinema trips to watch (and learn from) his beloved Bollywood films. One day, Hari's gloriously fancy footwork is spotted by Mr Ram, a man on a mission to resolve conflicts near and far.

Hari so entrances everyone with his magical dancing that soon he is travelling all over the world. His electric feet bring harmony to all who see him dance. This book is particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant, or dyslexic readers aged 8 and above.
