Growing up can feel like walking into a monsoon without an umbrella — bodies changing, friendships shifting, emotions too big for the chest. The Monsters of Anger and Panic roar; anxiety buzzes loud and lonely. But what if you had a superpower to tame them?
In Book One of The Time-Stoppers Trilogy, meet Svasti, an eleven-year-old "untouchable" burning with rage, and Sujata, a chief's daughter suffocating under expectation. Outside, worlds apart. Inside, the same ghosts.
In the shadowy Gaya Forest, a teacher offers them a magic needing no wand or bloodline — only a heartbeat and a breath. They learn to shield against cruel words, drop an anchor in panic, and cast the Time-Stopper: the spell of stillness inside the storm.
Set in ancient India, this gripping adventure hides real tools for young minds meeting big feelings.
Take a breath. Drop your anchor. The forest waits.
