Official synopsis Publisher
Do you feel you’re drowning in a pool of expectations? Are you pushed into running an endless rat race? Is the knowledge possessed by fellow sprinters used as a yardstick to measure your wisdom?
Leena answers all these questions in the affirmative. Having escaped from repeating grade 9 by the skin of her teeth, she finds nothing different about the lauded ‘life-changing’ grade 10. She detests her monotonous school life and finds herself stuck in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ prison camouflaged as an educational system.
When grown-ups isolate her from all her worldly pleasures believing it will make her pull through the boards, she escapes the arranged bond with her books by befriending victims of the societal prison. Their stories reassure that hers is not the only ignored voice.
An unexpected twist adds a new purpose to her survival, inducing her to choose a path that she despised all her life, only to attain her pursuit.
Leena meets a plot that is about to rewrite her life as an underachiever in The Undermined Fallacies.
