About the Book

The breathtaking story of a feisty young girl

Fifteen-year-old Rasha is abandoned by her mother in a village with her aged-and probably mad-grandmother. Uprooted from h
er school and her friends back in cosmopolitan Dhaka, a disgruntled Rasha has to start life afresh in a faraway place with no electricity, incessant rains, nosy neighbours and a primitive school.

Refusing to resign to the circumstances, Rasha rises against them and turns indomitable. Exposing a bullying teacher, nipping a child marriage in the bud, learning to take a boat to school and teaching her classmates how to use computers-these are only a few of this young girl's incredible exploits!

But just as Rasha settles into her new life, new friends in tow, she is confronted by a nightmarish past that once ravaged her family.

Will Rasha survive this daunting, and astounding, adventure?
