Description
Description
Holidays are starting―and that is especially joyful for Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar who hates school. But even the holidays are ruined because his uncle, C.V. Raman, is coming to stay.Raman Chithappa is a world-renowned scientist, and he likes to talk about himself and about science. He bulldozes the eight kids in the family to participate―with varying degrees of enthusiasm--in a series of adventures and experiments in physics. These disrupt the household, anger the adults, terrify the domestic helps and outrage the neighbours. And for Chandra, they provide a glimpse of a world he finds he might want to be a part of.Filled with rollicking humour and intense physics, this meticulously researched novel imagines one magical holiday in Madras. The unusual nature of the family―comprising two Nobel laureates, and other science luminaries―leads to some unique and hilarious adventures. Priya Kuriyan's cheery illustrations capture the riot and rumpus in striking detail.The Great Minds at Work series looks at the childhoods of people who made history against the backdrop of the times and places they grew up in.
