The World of Butterfingers: Adventure in Texas and Other Stories

Butterfingers is one of my favourite characters in the Indian comic books and to read The World of Butterfingers was a delightful experience. This book has 3 stories that cover the various adventures of Amar Kishen a.k.a Butterfingers. These are adventures with his friends, family and of course at his school with his principal.Each story stands out on its own and it took me back to my school days and all the ruckus my friends and I would create. The artwork by Abhijeet Kini in this book brings each story and each character to life in a wonderful way and every expression you find along with the little details just grab your attention and make the reading even more fulfilling.While this book is tagged for children 8 years and above, The World of Butterfingers easily passes off as a book for all ages. I received my copy today and read through it in one go. The stories and the beautifully vibrant artwork keep you engrossed throughout.

Butterfingers returns in three hilarious comics featuring thrills, spills and more.A fantastic reading experience that was over way too quickly. Even in this format, the unique writing style of the author still shines through, complemented by the brilliant illustrations.I recommend this book as a good entry point to the Butterfingers series for young readers who may feel reluctant to jump into a whole novel.But, make no mistake, there is plenty to enjoy for veterans of the series as well!

Khyrunnisa Mam’s latest addition to the butterfingers series is here and hold your breath .. This time its a comic book. Its like homecoming for good old butter as he started his life from the pages of Tinkle many years ago. ‘The World of Butterfingers: Adventure in Texas and other Stories ‘ is a collection of three amazing stories where Amar Kishen aka Butterfingers will be seen unravelling a mystery, having a wonderful time in Texas and running a marathon with none other than his school Principal Mr Jagmohan.

Laugh out loud funny book. Crisp illustrations. Well produced.

If I could sum up the entire experience of reading this book in one word, it would be NOSTALGIA. It reminded me of my 10-year-old self running to the newsstand in the neighbourhood at the beginning of every month to grab the latest issue of Tinkle! And needless to say, Butterfingers was one of my favourite Tinkle toons and I constantly looked forward to his clumsy shenanigans!So, when I got a chance to read this collection of three fun-filled stories of Amar Kishen aka. Butterfingers, I flew through this book in one sitting!For those of you who are new to Tinkle, Amar Kishen is an eighth grader whose (not-so-)famous skill is being clumsy and dropping things all the time; hence the nickname of Butterfingers!What happens when Amar and his friends come across a pair of new baby shoes in a pile of garbage? What will Amar do on his trip to Texas? Will Amar be able to win a marathon relay to fund the replacement of broken lab equipment? Read this book to find out!Abhijeet Kini’s classic style of illustrations is something every Tinkle fan loves and enjoys! And without a doubt, he has knocked it out of the park with his fun, quirky illustrations in this book too!What are you waiting for? Pick this book up right away, and make sure you don’t drop it, unless you want to be called the next Butterfingers! Haha!

The plot of the three stories in this book is of course facile and intended for those in their early teens. For adults it is just a waste of time and money.

Butterfingers is back with his (mis)adventures; this time in comic book form. He goes international too, solves baby shoe mystery and best of all runs a marathon with principal. Illustrations are absolutely fantastic. All this makes the comic a wonderful read. Whether you are Butterfingers fan or not, young or old, just go for it.

Khyrunnisa has given us many Butterfingers novels earlier, and it’s good to now see the character back in its original comic book form.Abhijeet Kini, as usual, has done a good job.There are three stories, and all are good and of a different variety.
