About the book:
What Harry Potter was for children, True Dummy could well be for the youth. Restlessness; uncertainty of their future, a constant desire to achieve and half-wanting; half-fearing the guidance that comes their way; True Dummy is about a youngsters journey to achievement in a mystical backdrop.
The tale opens in a small anonymous village; two boys who stay there and dare to dream beyond its geography; leave it in search of their destiny. Over time; the nameless protagonist begins his journey to be an actor; from being a 'dummy pearl' to a 'true pearl.' Laced with gems such as " A fall back plan is for those who walk backwards and hence they all end up where they start," to a point in their journey where they're told "if you stay among failures, one day you will also be a failure," their mystical journey continues as they visit the Island of True Pearls and stand before three gates, 'Money', "power' and "fame' and are left to chose which gate to enter.
A string of incidents; constant directions on how to shine like a 'true pearl' and witticisms flow effortlessly from the author's pen, constantly encouraging scores of youngsters to believe in their dreams and go all out to achieve them.
