Samriddhi, 11 years, Class 6, School student, Indore, India
“The fiction novel ‘Wizard of Sansanadia’ which is the first part of Chronicles of Tierra was an amazing book. It was fun to read. The imagination of the 11 years old author- Manikya Sanghi, was brilliant. I wish I get to read all the books of this series very soon.”
