Written by a 16-year-old
author Eshan Sharma, The Teacher I Never Met is as inspiring as it is
informative. Published in 2017, the story is about an 11-year-old boy who
considers former Indian president APJ Abdul Kalam his mentor. Having never met
the scientist, the child then embarks on a journey to find out more about the
life of India’s Missile Man. Written as a fantasy fiction in language that is
simple, the book takes readers on a discovery trail beginning from the
childhood days of Kalam right until his last moments.
In the pages of The
Teacher I Never Met, we learn lessons from one of the greatest supporters of
education in our country, and find anecdotes from the life of a visionary
Indian. The book also focuses on Kalam’s literary works and its fiction style
keeps the reader engaged until the very end.
This Teachers’ Day is
the perfect time to read this book or gift it to a young bibliophile. The book
is available on Amazon in both paperback (Rs 329) and Kindle (R 249) editions.
