Description:

Discover the incredible true story of one of India's bravest and least-remembered freedom fighters in this gripping historical adventure by Savie Karnel. Set against the turmoil of World War II, the book introduces young readers to Laxmi Panda — a fourteen-year-old girl whose family is killed in a bomb blast in Burma, leaving her and her younger brother Nakul to fend for themselves. Driven by grief, courage, and a fierce love for the country she has never seen, Laxmi joins Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's Indian National Army and becomes its youngest spy. Through rigorous training in marksmanship, swordplay, horsemanship, and espionage, she takes on dangerous missions deep behind British lines. Filled with daring escapes, jungle treks, and quiet acts of heroism, this beautifully researched book brings a forgotten chapter of India's freedom struggle vividly to life.
