Akbar-Birbal And The Haunted Gurukul by Apeksha Rao [Paperback]

In this thrilling and humorous tale, young Akbar, the future Mughal emperor, finds his life upended when a plot to harm him is uncovered after his beloved royal elephant, Nassie, goes on a rampage. To protect him, Akbar is sent undercover to the Vishwamitra Gurukul, where he must adjust to a new way of life—far from palace luxuries (and missing his favorite halwa!). But life at the gurukul isn't just about lessons; strange things are afoot, including a mysterious ghost haunting the students. When a fellow student is attacked, Akbar takes charge, with the help of a new friend—none other than the brilliant Birbal—setting the stage for a budding legendary partnership.
