Book Nook: The Book of Lost Secrets

Most children turn to video games after school. But not Diya Shanmugaraj, who puts down her school bag, picks up her pen again, and furiously writes.

 

Diya has had a lifelong fascination with stories, and is now proud to call herself a published author at the age of eleven.

 

‘The Book of Lost Secrets’ reaches out to her peers with a twisty, gritty adventure story that will send young minds on a wild escapade.

 

Synopsis:

 

A missing writer. A house filled with secrets… and a dangerous quest yet to be awaited.

When Tom and Lily move into an old writer’s house in the suburbs of the English countryside, they grasp the opportunity to untangle the mystery of the writer’s eerie disappearance. Living in a house frothing with secrets, they delve into a world of untold mystery, embarking on their most dangerous adventure yet. But, as the twins journey through the depths of London, they begin to realise how far a single book can take you.

 

“Diya’s dedication to her writing craft is unbelievable,” says her father. “Her ability to mould words is way beyond her years, and her stories could definitely compete with the bestsellers. This is of course her debut book, but Diya is already hard at work on her next one, and we’ll be supporting her the entire way.”

 

Continuing, “It just goes to show that you’re never too young to dream big and make bold achievements. The story itself is a compelling journey alongside the twins as the secrets of their new house, once owned by an author, resurface. It takes them to places they never expected – and any child can now tag along!”
