I found this thrilling adventure story review worthy more for its writer than the story itself. 'The Deadly Island' a treasure hunt expedition is meant for young readers, written by Sidratul Muntaha a student of class nine, Govt. Science College and High School and he wrote the story while studying in class seven! Being a teen-ager himself, the writer knows exactly what a teen ager of this time wants and serves it correctly.

Unreal -- the perfect word to describe this book that is inspired by 'real' events of our Liberation War of 1971. When Cartoonist Ahsan Habib, Publisher/Editor of the 40-year-old Fun-Satire Magazine UNMAD, a living legend started writing, his works were mostly humorous. But in between, he has been showing his strength in novel and short-story (fictions) writing as well.

Gultekin Khan, in 2016, had emerged as a 'published poet' for the first time with a compilation of original poems. Her poetic abilities took the Bengali poetry readers and lovers by surprise – in a very good way. To many, her very late appearance in the world of poetry, was considered injustice to contemporary Bengali Literature and to her talent.

The year 2017 began with promises for self-development, to do better as a human being and to contribute more to the country.

Anisul Hoque is definitely the most popular writer of his time, especially if you consider the variety of his writing and number of formats in Bengali Literature he has touched and excelled in. Usually, when one talks about Hoque's work, his novel-fictions and his columns take the lead.

By adding 'Surprisingly' before 'Great Read', I'm NOT in anyway trying to imply that good work is not expected from this writer. In fact, there were no expectations whatsoever – at all from Wasim Subhan Choudhury!

Ok, let's see what's the right word for this... Charmed? Fascinated? Attracted? No, maybe all of them or maybe 'captivated' rounds it up well!

One must not judge a book by its cover. The handy – a bit smaller than the regular book size, has proven the year old proverb wrong. Besides the size, you will definitely pick up the book for its extraordinary cover design by Sabyashachi Hazra, and as you open and brush through some random pages – you'll buy and take this book home with you for sure!

Samar Paul is a popular name among Bengali Readers, especially for the ones who love to read the history of this region. Among countless similar researchers and writers, according to me, only Samar Paul tells you the history in simple yet a fun way which will make a light fiction lover a fan of historical writings.

Anoy, a student of class nine, starts the longest journey of his life on a winter night all by himself. Six hours in a bus to Shunamganj, long rickshaw ride to Haluaghat, and finally a boat ride to Narayantola – his uncle's place very close to India's border is the destination. His holiday trip turns to a bitter one within two hours when he almost took out his mobile phone to call his father but puts it down because everything in life is an experience – he believes. Plus, he is a brave little kid, good at both studies and sports, especially cricket and martial arts. His hobbies are listening to and singing Tagore songs and just reading detective stories. Little did he knew that he is about to become a detective himself soon.
