A Chola Adventure

Journey back to the magnificent era of the Chola Empire with A Chola Adventure, an enthralling historical mystery for young readers by acclaimed author Anu Kumar!

About the Book: Twelve-year-old Raji is growing up during the glorious reign of Rajaraja Chola in southern India. Spirited, bright, and bold, Raji is not just an ordinary girl—she is a talented dancer, a skilled warrior, and a young sculptor who models entire kingdoms in stone. Despite her many talents, Raji carries a heavy heart: her mother is in exile, and her grief-stricken father has left home. But everything changes on a dark, stormy night when Raji rescues a stranded Chinese sailor from the sea. This courageous act sets off an extraordinary chain of events with far-reaching consequences. As a sacred Shiva statue vanishes, a young prince disappears, and a dark mystery unfolds inside a temple, Raji and her loyal friends—including the young prince Rajendra Chola and his cousin Ananta—must race to uncover the truth. Will they bring the criminals to justice, reunite Raji's fractured family, and restore peace to the mighty Chola Kingdom?
