The story follows Ajay, a street child abandoned on the Mumbai railways, who survives by selling newspapers but dreams of becoming a journalist. When Ajay discovers an old printing press, he and his friends launch their own newspaper, The Mumbai Sun. Their reporting leads them to uncover a corrupt scheme by powerful builders and politicians to demolish a neighboring slum, threatening to leave hundreds homeless. This novel addresses themes of ambition, resilience, friendship, and the power of words to create change. It is an excellent resource for exploring social justice and civic responsibility with students aged 8–12. The narrative encourages critical thinking about ethics, corruption, and the role of the media in society. It provides opportunities for discussions on poverty, homelessness, and the importance of community action.
