This book is titled Beautiful Leela and is about a girl named Leela, who is around 12–13 years old. Leela feels insecure about her skin colour and is afraid to be seen. She doesn’t talk to many of her classmates and mostly keeps to herself except when she is with Aisha and Keshav, her two best friends.
The story focuses on people, places and things that shaped the 1857 uprising. Some of the key people include Nana Sahib, Jhansi Laxmi Bai and Mangal Pandey among others. Some of the important places include Lucknow, Cawnpore (now Kanpur) and Delhi.
The story follows the endlessly curious (and wonderfully mischievous twins) Zain and Ana. Ana desperately wants a pet dog, but instead her parents bring home… three fish!
The year is 1978. Jenny from Palakkad becomes pen pals with Teesta in Bombay. The girls brainstorm ways to contribute to the conservation of key ecosystems.
The story follows the Under-13 Maulsari Eagles football team as they navigate corruption, age fraud, and personal struggles to compete in the District Cup after a two-year pandemic gap.
