The book titled ‘The Lost and Found’ written by Hyderabad-based girl Binnu Ponugoti was released by YB Satyanarayana at Somajiguda Press Club, Hyderabad on Sunday. Binnu, who is 17 now states that she penned the book when she was 12-years-old.

"It's beyond anybody imagination that a 12-year-old girl wrote this book. It's a fantasy based and I hope this book will become another Harry Potter in the upcoming days. I read the book and it has a great imagination. She will definitely become a good writer in the future," YB Satyanarayana, author of 'My Father Baliah' said.

"I heard many stories when I was young. Imagination allows any person to reach anywhere. Imagination has no limits. One has to imagine, to achieve anything in the life. We can never create any artwork without imagination. I will be very happy if she writes it in Telugu also. I think the tales of this book has influence from the ‘Tales of Panchatantra’. Binnu has narrated the stories with great élan," K Siva Reddy, Sahitya Academy Award Winner, shared.

"Releasing this book is like a dream come true for me. My parents used to tell me great stories when I was a kid. I read ‘Tales of Panchatantra’ and it has a lot of influence on this book. The book is about the two young girls, who undertake their journey into life only to discover that the society is encoded with patriarchy and servitude. I will start my second book soon," Binnu Ponugoti said.
