Hidden Gems

Pack your bags and hop aboard the bus to Camp "Hidden Gems", nestled in the serene and tranquil atmosphere of the hill

station of Ooty. Join Rewa, Lata, Asif, James, Bhaskar and many others in their week-long adventure, as they embark on

the trip of their lives. Friendships are fostered, huddled around the crackling campfire, and the children listen intently as

they exchange stories about defining moments from their lives. Come, share in their experiences and always remember

that each one of you is a precious "GEM"!

The idea behind this book was to put forward basic values which over a period of time have appealed to the author. She

has expressed them in a manner which would interest the children and adults alike. A group of twenty children go on a

camp in the cool environs of Ooty. The children bond over different activities conducted over six days and on the last day

of the camp, they sit around the bonfire at night and exchange learnings from their personal experiences. The language has

been kept simple, keeping the interest of children in mind. These anecdotes shared by the children have been captured

under different titles in the book.

This collection of fourteen realistic fiction stories will engage the reader and highlight some of life's important lessons.
