This book, set in the year 1915, takes us into the life of a young boy Sibu who lives in Chingri village and belongs to a poor family of the Kurukh tribe in the Chota Nagpur region. He, and his friend Budhu, find themselves in the thick of a brewing rebellion when their fathers bring them along to a meeting.
This eye-opener book chronicles the lives of 10 (less popularly known) scientists who fought poverty, societal norms and financial hurdles.
Young Leela is growing up under the watchful albeit strict gaze of her grandmother (having lost her mother early on and her father working in another town).
Leela is curious about the freedom struggle unfolding in the rest of the country and is fascinated by Mahatma Gandhi.
Living with Adi is a very different book from the ones I usually read. It revolves around the hardships faced by the innocent teen, Adi Krishnan who has ASD.
The content by Smartypants is broken down beautifully into bite-sized chunks which can be easily assimilated by anyone.
