Fifteen-year-old Moira Fitzgerald is a punk-rebellious, obnoxious, rude. She also happens to be a witch-but doesn't want to be. So why do evil magicals think she may be the new Dumari? And why have she and her twin cousins, Braidy and Brody Attinson, been kidnapped? What is the Dumari, anyway? Thanks to some quick thinking on feisty Moira's part-and a fair smattering of luck - the three teens manage to elude their captors. They find themselves cast adrift in New York City, far from their homes near Boston, with few resources and little money. Forced to work together, in spite of their differences, they wend their way north through the city, hoping that their families will find them before the bad magicals do. Join Moira, Braidy and Brody on their adventure as they escape from their kidnappers, explore New York City, and eventually find their way home-with a little help from some unexpected friends.

Dongri to Dubai is the first ever attempt to chronicle the history of the Mumbai mafia. It is the story of notorious gangsters like Haji Mastan, Karim Lala, Varadarajan Mudaliar, Chhota Rajan, Abu Salem, but above all, it is the story of a young man who went astray despite having a father in the police force. Dawood Ibrahim was initiated into crime as a pawn in the hands of the Mumbai police and went on to wipe out the competition and eventually became the Mumbai police’s own nemesis.The narrative encompasses several milestones in the history of crime in India, from the rise of the Pathans, formation of the Dawood gang, the first ever supari, mafia’s nefarious role in Bollywood, Dawood’s move to Karachi, and Pakistan’s subsequent alleged role in sheltering one of the most wanted persons in the world.This story is primarily about how a boy from Dongri became a don in Dubai, and captures his bravado, cunningness, focus, ambition, and lust for power in a gripping narrative. The meticulously researched book provides an in-depth and comprehensive account of the mafia’s games of supremacy and internecine warfare.
