In her school play, Manya really, really wants to play Shere Khan. Her favourite movie is The Jungle Book, and she is versed in every line. She's certain she'll make a fantastic Shere Khan. But not everyone holds this opinion. Rajat, a student, always makes fun of her stammer. Her English instructor and principal both seem to concur that it would be dangerous to allow her perform on stage. Manya's stammer gets worse as her anxiety increases. Will Manya lose out on her ideal job? Can she learn to roar and get over her fears? The Children First writing competition, run by Parag, a project of Tata Trusts and Duckbill Books, was the winner of this book.
