Author - Devdutt Patnaik
 
Goodreads Rating - 4.30
 
India's favorite and famous mythologist brings the retelling of the Mahabharata in his unique style, especially for the kids - The Boys Who Fought, The Mahabharata for Children by Devdutt Pattanaik published by Puffin books.

The plot is the same, the story of Pandavas Vs. Kauravas. Still what makes this book special?
 
I could see the magic of Devdutt Pattanaik in all the chapters right from one to eight. Excluding the introduction and conclusion, the author encompasses the entire Mahabharata in six chapters. He did not miss any of the prominent sub tales too. Be it the story of Eklavya or Shikandi or King Draupada, Hanuman's appearance, he touches it all. He explains the entire story via the fights, How the Pandavas fought as orphans, as refugees, as kings, as exiles, as warriors, and as hermits.
