Double dose of adventure and fun!
Ideally, you would expect a 9 -year old to do anything but type up a book of 156 pages and get it published. But Ruchi Bhalani, a 5th grader in Andrews Elementary School in Plano, Texas did just that.
Her book Twin Spies and Destiny of the Earth is based in the future and is about two 14 year olds, fighting an alien invasion, “My book is about twins who are a part of a secret agency who they get abducted by aliens and need to find out what they are up to. In the mean time they lose their memory, travel to Paris and then they finally find the alien headquarters and try and defeat the aliens.”
Although it took her about a year to finish this book, Ruchi always knew that she wanted to become an author, “I wrote my first story in Kindergarten and since then, I knew I wanted to write. I started writing a lot of poems in second grade and in third grade I wrote a short story that I was going to publish online when the idea of this book came about and my dad told me I should go ahead with it”, she says.
And what’s more, Ruchi is juggling between her school and writing with ease, “I go to school, come back and finish my homework. Usually after that I have some classes like tennis, ice-skating, and swimming. At night, before I sleep I type up a good chapter of five pages and then I feel satisfied,” she adds.
The young author who is writing the sequel to her first book right now, loves reading fantasy fiction like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and the Hunger Games Series. The young author has a clear idea of what she wants to become.
“My goal is to become like a younger version of Suzzane Collins,” she says adding that everyone should write, “Everyone has their own imagination and form of creativity. So they should put that creativity to use, to make a better world,” she reveals.
