Young Adult & Middle Grade Fiction · Social Entrepreneurship
“One discarded box of books. Four determined teenagers. A movement that proved you don’t need to wait for adulthood to change the world.”
In the roaring metropolis of Mumbai, fifteen-year-old Nia Uchlia believed that success was simply about securing grades and surviving exam schedules. But when an energetic stray dog leads to an unexpected encounter in A.H. Park, four distinct classmates collide: Nia, the observant strategist; Noah, the athletic dreamer; Anne, the fiery artist; and Rasheed, the analytical systems builder.
There, on the other side of the park fence, they meet young Layla—a bright child whose dream of learning is locked behind the daily struggle for survival. Refusing to look away, the four friends launch The Changemakers.
From distributing handcrafted flyers under ancient banyan trees to wheeling their first mobile pushcart through railway settlements, they face corporate skepticism, resource constraints, and public indifference. Armed with grassroots empathy, relentless grit, and creative problem-solving, these four teenagers spark a revolution that illuminates an entire city.
“A triumph of youth agency and heart. The Changemakers captures the authentic energy of young founders who refuse to accept injustice.”
— Emma Johnson-Rivard, Editor
“A masterclass in grassroots empathy. Every school, parent, and teenager should read this book.”
— Mary Olson, Brand Intelligence
