SCHOOLYARD BET : Afzal and friends vs. the terrorist - 1 - Chennai Westland Books 2024 - 290
Everyone knows that teenagers can cross the line sometimes. But when a school bully questions Afzal’s very identity as an Indian, it sets off a chain of events that catapults him and his friends into the heart of Pakistan on a daring mission. Their goal? To kidnap a notorious terrorist from prison.
But things are not as simple as Afzal imagines. As the trio go deeper and deeper into Pakistani heartland, their plan begins to come apart at the seams. An angry drug dealer is hot on their heels, as well as one relentless Pakistani agent determined to thwart their mission. The odds begin to look a little impossible.
However, these are no ordinary teenagers. Accompanied by Wicket, an equally extraordinary dog, Afzal, Beena and Rup pool together their wits, courage and sheer audacity in an astonishing effort to bring the world’s most hated terrorist to justice—no matter what.
Will their gambit succeed, or will they pay a heavy price for their daring?
