Little Netra's Adventures  (English, Hardcover, Priyanka S R)

Netra is a brilliant girl, always curious to learn new things. From a very young age, she had travelled to quite a few places, which made her a good observer. Her curiosity had always surprised people, but when it got the better of her, it often ended in anxious moments. Netra secretly sneaks into her neighbor Piu Tai’s archaeology study tour, only to be discovered later. Everything goes smoothly until an artefact catches little Netra’s attention. Unaware of its power, she picks it up, unleashing an ancient curse, awakening Arodon, that alters the fate of tribal settlements. Years later, at the breakfast table, Netra and her family reminisce about her first visit to an ancient monument and how that led her to take an interest in archaeology. Now a student of archaeology, Netra reflects on that childhood adventure, revisiting memories through a handmade album. She learns about the next excavation season at the same site and immediately rushes to her room, searching for the artefact she had preserved for years. As she holds it, a whisper in the wind warns: “Acceptance and correction are the keys. This is your only chance.”
