Against All Odds
On his first day at their new school, DPS Rourkela, everyone stares at him. Why? He has a disability- a deformed left hand. Some people say bad things because of his hand but that doesn’t let him down.  

Karthik gets selected on his school football team! He is very happy because of that. He does training like dribbling and shooting. Kavya gets selected on the dance team! She too is very excited.

The school was going to have the selections for the girls' football tournament. Tina, the twins’ classmate wants to take part. So, she wants Karthik and his friend Siba to help her be a goalkeeper.

  Tina helped win the tournament in penalties! But next, it is Karthik’s turn for a football match. Will Karthik also be able to win the football match? Read the book to find out!

This book is suitable for people aged 8+. I rate it 4.5/5. I like the part where the twins help each other. Read the book now!

I  bought few items there. The items were very cheap there as compared to Singapore. But, I didn't buy any breakfast there. In Genting we we...
