Indiaclub.com Description

This collection of stories, written by young schoolchildren, is a result of ITC Limited’s annual talent search-the Classmate Young author Contest. The twelve stories included here were adjudged the best by a National July headed by Ruskin bond, and they cover a range of topics. From a murderer on the loose to friendship in the time of Partition, from a man with a terminal illness to the Devil’s day in Paradise, the stories display wonderful perception, humour, imagination and storytelling abilities.

The Classmate Young author Contest is based on the belief that inside every student is a unique talent in search of an opportunity. It aims to encourage creativity and unfettered imagination in students, rewarding them for putting their ideas onto paper, in the form of short stories. This, the second year of the contest, saw a massive upsurge of interest, with over 40, 000 students across 2000 schools spread over 12 cities in India participating.

REVIEW

Judging by these stories this country is going to be flooded with brilliant young authors over the next decade.
-Ruskin Bond
