    About this ebook

    The era belongs to legendary King Vikramaditya, 1800 years ago.

    The brilliant star-reader Varahamihira, one of the famed Nine Gems of the king’s court, predicts a rare eclipse that has alarming consequences. Soon after, the scrolls carrying his predictions go missing. While the court considers how to retrieve them, they receive news of yet another disappearance ‑ none other than their celebrated poet Kalidasa! The kingdom erupts in an uproar.

    Meanwhile, in our own time, an adventure begins for Atisa, the teenage owner of a time-travelling flying machine! On a peaceful night in the snow-capped Himalayas, Atisa hears mysterious wails of distress through his state-of-the-art sound-catcher. In a whirlwind of events, he is transported to the midst of ancient Pataliputra and its imbroglio over the missing scrolls and poet.

    Will Atisa save Kalidasa and the scrolls?

    Anu Kumar has written two Atisa books: The Seven Wonders and Adventures with Hieun Tsang. She lives in Maryland, US with her husband and daughter. Anu has written books for children, young adult and adults. Her website is www.anukumar.org
