Ninth Standard at Navjivan School

Amit loved his school in Bombay. He liked his friends and his teachers. So when his family moved to Baroda and he was admitted to a school there, he was worried whether he would like his new school. How would it feel to enter the classroom on the first day and only see strangers there? Will he find friends and teachers like he had in the school in Bombay? Amit had been participating in every activity in the familiar atmosphere of that school. Would this be possible here? Would there be as many activities in the school in Baroda? Little did he know then how quickly, once the school opened, a number of exciting happenings were going to take place and how deeply Amit was going to get involved in each of them. In this breezy story, Madhav Desai captures the atmosphere in one class of the school, events that take place during an academic year, personalities of students and teachers, and the changing nature of their interrelationship.
