The shape of it
The shape of this universe.
Serendib Adventures is Nizrana Farook's upper-primary adventure franchise set in a Sri Lanka-inspired island world of jungle, rivers, coastal danger, wild animals, thieves, secrets and brave children making difficult choices. Each book follows a different child protagonist and animal-centred adventure, so the series feels linked by setting, tone and moral imagination rather than by one continuing plot. It is ideal for readers who like fast, vivid adventure with real-world texture: elephants, whales, leopards and bears sit alongside poverty, injustice, loyalty, environmental harm and courage.
A vivid adventure series full of Sri Lanka-inspired landscapes, brave children, wild animals, danger, loyalty and justice.
