Sowmya
Putta make a dashing debut with The
Invincible Weapon.
This is the story of Abhi, the prince of Vaishali, who is slogging at
the ashram of Gavistha. His hard-work is not only to earn
knowledge, but also to win the invincible weapon.
The
book gave me a nice feel of reading Harry Potter in an Indian gurukul
setting. The book transported me to my childhood. There are ample
scenes were every person will be able to see his childhood. This
speaks volumes about the writing prowess of Sowmya.
The
writing is clean, free of any errors. The story is penned in a
simple, lucid language. It sucks into the magical charm of its world
and you wish to
never
come out of it. When we complain that our children don’t read, it
is time to ponder whether we provide them with stories in the Indian
setting, stories which they can relate to. Sowmya’s
book fills this void. It is for this reason that The
Invincible Weapon is
highly recommended.
