An Artist’s Creed and Other Tales . . .

What happens when a young soldier hesitates before pressing the trigger while in the line of enemy fire? How does a girl next door deal with her newfound fame when a simple good deed propels her to stardom? Where will a group of trekkers end up after taking one wrong turn on an isolated road? These and other edge-of-the-seat situations await you in this book of short stories by a group of teenage students of the Global Indian International School, SMART Campus in Singapore. They used the power of their pen and the dexterity of their imagination to take readers into multiple journeys full of danger, adventure, and occult. Readers will feel cool waters as they dive in the Pacific Ocean with identical twins Angie and Susan or have their adrenaline pumping as they hunt for the Lost Heart of Eden with Harris, James, and Miles or feel Clarissa’s pain as she deals with failure and disappointment. The commendable effort is worth a read, especially when it comes from a group of kids with a passion for reading and a flair for storytelling.
