But the new teacher, Miss Pooma, with her horn-rimmed glasses, mismatched salwar kameez and the tight-pointed knot on the top of her head, soon becomes the butt of jokes – the students’ as well as the teachers’. But Asha and her friends, Chris, Ganga, Rakesh and Anne are determined to make Miss Pooma feel extra nice. Soon, Miss Pooma and the gang become good friends. But one day, Miss Pooma goes missing …
On another part of the Earth – the North Pole to be exact – Santa is worried. He has just read the letters that children from around the world have sent to him, asking for Christmas presents. Most of them have asked for video and computer games and hardly few of the requests were for books. That’s when Santa gets an idea and announces it to the elves at the factory. The only people who are upset are Mr. Stern and the Jerks of top management at Stern Communications, the company that gets the orders for gadgets and games from the North Pole. Jerk 1 devises a devious plan that Mr. Stern agrees to.
What is Mr. Stern’s plan? Why is Miss Pooma behaving strangely? What does the town of Coonoor have to do with the North Pole? How do Asha and the gang react? Who is Amaranthus? Find out in Christmas Held to Ransom.
