I loved this book because it was so interesting. Asha and her friend had a big adventure to find Asha's Papa because he had not sent any money and they were worried about him. I liked Asha's attitude as she was not going to give up. I would recommend this book.

This fictional book is filled with mixed emotions - sad and happy. My favourite character was the Spirit Bird. I would not go out of my way to recommend this book however if people ask I would not discourage them away from reading it.

It was a great story but a bit long winded. Great characters

This captivating novel is about a girl Asha who goes on a death-defying journey to find her father. Asha & the Spirit Bird is one of my favourite books; it has my three favourite genres combined- Adventure, Romance, Fantasy. I really enjoyed this bokk and it was hard to put down, for I always was eager to know what would happen next. This story is unique, with many twists and a taste of Indian culture. Bilan's award-winning book made me cry tears of joy, sadness and empathy- I shall definitely give this heart-warming masterpiece 5 stars!

The Indian setting for this ‘seeking parent’ quest is delightful and feels authentic - right down to the seediness of a big city and the jeopardy therein. We have a plucky heroine and a down to earth side kick (whom I liked rather better). I’m not convinced by the supernatural element but it is exciting and would appeal to children. My last quibble is the fact that it is written in the present historic - as so many children’s books now are. I always think it makes the writing seem more infantile but maybe that is just me. Overall it is fast paced and accessible and I would pitch it to averagely competent Year 4s and older children.

I really enjoyed this book because it has a wonderful sense of adventure and although it is a little slow at the beginning, it is totally worth reading.

My favourite character is Asha because she is courageous, brave and strong after what she did in the Himalaya mountains.

Asha’s dad lives in the city and and she misses him. But suddenly he stopped sending his wages and a ruthless moneylender ransacks their home . Asha comes up with a plan with her friend , Jeevan, to find her dad. But the journey is dangerous: they have to face mountains , hunger, tiredness and even snow leopards. Although, Asha has a sense that her nanijee (grandma ) is watching over her as a spirit bird .
