- Description: It is a matter of concern when a bottle of liquor, some leftover food and other trash items are found strewn on the floor of a temple..... It is a matter of concern when an old unused room that has long lain silent reverberates with the sound of tennis balls giving a creepy feeling..... It is a matter of concern when friends on a midnight adventure get caught in a storm and the so-called Tag Along hastens to brave strong currents just so he can reach out for help... It is a matter of concern when the explosion of Diwali crackers outside drowns the explosion of emotions within, making the deafening silence inside scream for attention... These are just glimpses of a few realistic stories in this collection. There are more, each dealing with and overcoming some conflict or another as they race towards a conclusion. A compendium of 15 short stories for the 9-12 age group written by multiple writers and illustrated by Ankur Mitra.
