India to the Rescue

NOMINATED FOR THE BAL SAHITYA PURASKAAR 2023

A tiny island nation. A midnight coup.

The dauntless Indian army swoops in for the rescue!

A true incident featuring the Indian armed forces!

Originally written by Sushant Singh, adapted for young readers by Shruthi Rao.

Illustrations by Shagnik Chakraborty.

Reviews

“Told in an adventure-mystery style, it is full of twists and turns, taking young readers, aged seven and above, on secret flights, and a ride on a tiny boat through the inky darkness.

The chapters are supplemented with illustrations, maps and boxes to make the story accessible to young readers—or to adults who don’t want to wade through tomes. And yet, the book doesn’t shy away from complex questions” – A children’s book about a forgotten army mission (livemint.com)

My seven year old and I enjoyed reading the book. We just couldn’t put it down. This was his first book in this genre and he loved it.  – House Full of Books
