The first book of Payal Kapadia’s Horrid High series (her previous work Wisha Wozzariter won the 2013 Crossword Book Award for Children’s Writing) is a rollicking read, a throwback to the good old school series by Enid Blyton. Roger Dahl’s illustrations have a life of their own and do full justice to the storyline.

A story about young Ferg Gottin, the neglected child of two narcissists who is sent off to a school dedicated to making its students miserable, Horrid High by Payal Kapadia is meant for children under 11, but, may well become one of the children’s books that transcends age groups and is popular with all – young and old… Horrid High is Payal Kapadia's second book after the award-winning children's novel Wisha Wozzariter.

As seasoned readers who pore through books on a routine basis, it isn’t often that we sit up and gasp and exclaim, WOW! This year while perusing the collection submitted to us by the Crossword team it was the books ‘Wisha Wozzariter‘ & ‘Book Uncle and Me’ that triggered this rare flash of exuberant surprise…. The genius of author Payal Kapadia and her pocket-sized creative writing storybook, Wisha Wozzariter, is the manner in which she has transformed such a drab subject into a wonderful, colourful, absorbing book.
