A grade 6 student from Waverley Drive Public School recently celebrated the release of her debut novel Echoes From Tomorrow.

Anshika A., who describes herself as an avid reader, specifically of Greek and Roman Mythology books, decided to put her love of reading to action and try to write a novel that other booklovers would want to read.

Echoes From Tomorrow is about an 11-year-old girl named Nova who has powerful abilities including thermal manipulation, and the ability to heal others. After becoming a target by an organization that exploits people like Nova, she and her team set out to take the organization down.

Anshika spent all her spare time writing this story, but that was only the first part of this journey. The editing and publishing process for her novel taught her lessons in patience and resilience. According to Anshika's mother, Anindita, the experience taught Anshika that, "there is no age limit to dreaming big. If you have the courage to pursue your dream and persistence to keep going, you can achieve your goals."

Anshika hopes to turn this novel into a series for young readers. Echoes From Tomorrow is available for purchase on Amazon. Congratulations Anshika, on this amazing accomplishment.
