BOOK : The Boy with a Hundred Questions
AUTHOR : Nalini Ramachandran
ILLUSTRATOR : Shruti Himani, illustrator
This is a story of a nine-year-old Shunya, an inquisitive child who spends much of his time under his favourite peepul tree, wondering about the secrets of the universe, the purpose of life and the meaning of faith.
His quest for answers takes an unexpected twist, when he is suddenly led on a whirlwind tour to meet the eleven doppelgängers of his dad! But little does Shunya know that his dad’s peculiar research project will unravel the most bewildering mystery of his life—the significance of his name, which means ‘zero’!
BOOK : Ghoul School
AUTHOR : Vibha Batra
ILLUSTRATOR : Riya Nagendra
Siliguri, a ten-year-old Bhoot, goes to a school for ghouls. He’s learning how to scare the living daylights out of humans, haunt creaky crumbly old buildings and walk with his feet turned backwards. But all he wants is to become an entertainer.
He has even enlisted Kachori’s help. Trouble is, she’s a human. A ghostbuster at that. If anyone at school finds out, it’ll be the end of him. To make matters worse, the most feared ghoul of all time is on the loose…
Will Siliguri ever have his heart’s desire? Will he delight audiences, vanquish the evil villain and save the netherworld?
