Are they going to unravel the truth? And will they ever learn the meaning of Jewe...?

Delighted over publishing his first book, Pramukh said, "Since my childhood, I have been passionate about reading poems, stories, novels especially adventure and mystery genre. This inspired me to write short stories initially. I have now written many short stories and participated in various writing competitions in school. This helped me discover the true meaning of words and I started analysing in every piece of writing I happen to read. As I was exposed to more such books, it eventually inspired me to write a book all by myself. So, I came up with a plot, characters, and started penning down my thoughts which finally culminated in The Three Excursionists and the Mysteries of Marville Woods. Unlike the other mystery books, the plot of my book is unpredictable."

Congratulating Pramukh, Swati Soni, head of CMRNPS, said, "It gives us immense pleasure to see such bright, creative, and skilful students at our school. We at CMRNPS always encourage students to participate in various events and competitions that help upskill students and increase their knowledge. I want to congratulate Pramukh on publishing his first book and encourage him to continue writing more."

This story puts six of the most skillful plot twists in play, which mould the story in a fascinating way. With things not coming together very easily for the trio, this adventure is sure to be one of the cleverest and substantial mysteries ever, one of the best thereof it's kind.

The entire process of writing the book to publishing it took seven months and is published by Notion Press, Chennai.
