Description 
Colaba, May 2020; Lockdown, Day 46: Baman Marker, the Chairperson of 
Daisy and Lily Apartments, is found poisoned in his home. He dies soon after. 
The twin apartments are sealed, so the murderer could have only been one of 
the residents. 
The news shakes fifteen-year-old Nandini Venkat, a devourer of murder 
mysteries, out of her stupor. After all, didn't she spot a pair of legs climbing 
up and down the stairs that deadly night... With her not-so-alert twin, Ved, 
and BFF Shanaya, she begins an investigation. 
But the Chairperson knew every little dirty detail about every single resident, 
so the list of suspects is long. Was it Mr Carvalho-Nandini's crush Daniel's 
father-with his shady past? Or Shanaya's mother, Amrita Aunty, who had 
a running feud with Baman? Or mean old retired principal Lina Almeida 
who now makes lethal detox smoothies? Or the old and immobile Mr 
Alimchandani with a long-buried secret? 
The seemingly listless days of the lockdown, when secrets and tensions 
bubbled below the surface, come back to life in this gripping and entertaining 
whodunit. With Murder at Daisy Apartments, bestselling author Shabnam 
Minwalla brings her phenomenal gift for dramatic storytelling to a new genre.

Nimmi Daruwala is starting Grade 6, and she is sure it is going to be absolutely SPECTABULOUS! Will it? Eleven-year-old Nimmi Daruwala does not like her last name at all, nor Sumit, her chief tormentor and general pie-faced classmate. But she loves drama, Miss Tanvi, her drama teacher--and, most of all, inventing utterly unusual words. On the first day of Grade 6, Nimmi wakes up thinking it is going to be a spectacular+fabulous=spectabulous year. But starting with an ill-fitting skort, nothing goes right for her. Sumit is suddenly on the same school bus as her. Her best friend Sophia is talking in a strange singsong accent and is friendly with mean girl Alisha Dubash. And Nimmi's favourite drama teacher has taken the year off. In her place there is the dull, pale-eyed Miss Aatmaja, who brands Nimmi the Troublemaker of Grade 6! With jumping rubber spiders, tumbling candy coloured school furniture, a principal with one too many bright ideas, and a birthday party where almost everything goes wrong, Nimmi's Spectabulous Schooldays is hilarious and dramatic and a story every schoolchild will relate to.
