...as the reader absorbs the sub-text in Upar Ke Ganv Ka Rahasya, Gopu’s everyday adventures ensure a fun read. - Mid-day

A fine story in an unusual background. - The Book Review

Neha Bahuguna's debut novel for children is a story of a nine year old girl, Gopu.

She engage in sensible conversations. And she wants to know about everyone and everything, near or far!

Her nose smells a mystery.  It surrounds the discontinuation of annual village Ramlila. She has to know why was it stopped.

Why do they all have to go to another village climbing up and down the hills to watch Ramlila?

She talks to everyone who is willing to let her in on the secret. Adults are not too keen on the topic, you can guess the subject is labeled Not For Children!

But they are not used to Gopu's interrogation techniques!

An engaging mystery novel that gives a peak into the way children think and reason, while unmasking the manner in which adults respond to children's curiosities.

Susnata Paul's illustrations gives you a peak into the life on the hills of Uttarakhand. Her characters are expressive enough to make you feel a part of the scene.
