‘Smash It, Butterfingers,’ written by Khyrunnisa A, has Amar and Co. in the thick of the action

Seventh in the Butterfingers series, the book has the children participating in a badminton match with a difference

Amar Kishen, aka Butterfingers, is back in the game with Smash It, Butterfingers!. Amar’s class has to participate and win in a badminton match to bag a cash prize to buy books for the library of Green Park School. Created by author Khyrunnisa A, Amar, the 13-year-old who can’t seem to stay out of trouble and mishaps, has taken his readers for many adventures and this is the seventh in the series. The charm of the stories lies in the fact that in spite of his bumbling and proclivity for trouble, unflappable Amar manages to emerge on top every time. Unlike many other children’s books that revolve around fantasy, folk tales, mysteries, mythology and investigations, Khyrunnisa turns to sports to transport her readers to the playground where her characters play their improvised versions of cricket, football and badminton matches.
