Sceadu is a thrilling, fast-paced YA fantasy adventure which blurs the boundary between the physical and the psychological, the real and the mythical.
The cover shall be revealed on http://sceadu.net, http://prashantpinge.com, and Goodreads.

"Prashant has a gift for describing places in a vivid and elaborate manner which makes a parallel world appear completely possible and even real. The story is filled with twists, stratagems, prophecies, dangers, deceits, and magical powers that keep the plot moving at a fast pace. Some lighter moments ensure that the narrative does not become dark despite the occasional moments of despair.
The quirks and traits of the four central characters make it easy for the reader to relate with them and their changing fortunes and consequent range of emotions – exultation, frustration, fear, hope, and determination. Their evolving relationship with one another and with themselves is subtle and touching.
Sceadu succeeds in delivering a powerful message that every child can relate to – belief in oneself. Without preaching, the writer also conveys the need for balance – between action and patience, intellect and intuition, and at a higher level, the balance of energies that is needed to maintain order in the universe."
Dr. Pramath Raj Sinha, Co-founder at Ashoka University, Founding Dean at Indian School of Business, Managing Director at 9.9 Mediaworx

"Prashant Pinge writes lucidly. I found myself transported into another world right after reading the first few pages, which had an ominous sense of resonance with the underlying theme of the book, where four children find themselves magically whisked away into a magical world, Sceadu.
Sceadu sounds very much like its meaning, ‘shadow’. Prashant Pinge has done a brilliant job in making one see that very ‘shadow’ we all take for granted, in an absolutely sparkling new ‘light’.
I would highly recommend this book me made into a movie. But you must read the book first. One of the rare instances when I’ve read a book and wanted to see the movie (which is not there as yet but I’m confident will be in the near future) as well!
Full of twists and turns, this is one roller coaster ride you don’t want to miss!"

All this while, Matilda’s shadow had been growing larger and larger. Suddenly, it lunged
out of the ground and swallowed her, like a python does its unsuspecting prey.
Nine year old Matilda ends up with a century old book through a series of strange coincidences. And disappears. Her brother and cousins are forced to suspend their hostilities and pursue her to Sceadu, a land inside the human shadow. Once there, the reluctant visitors find themselves chased by the vicious Hefigans, creatures of Sceadu. However, everything changes with the revelation of an ancient prophecy that foretells the doom of the world they left behind.
With the stakes suddenly raised, the children must now navigate the dangerous terrain, overcome grave challenges, and unlock the secrets of the shadow. But can they do it in time to thwart the plans of the treacherous Hefigans? Or will they succumb to the guile of a ruthless enemy who is equally determined to destroy mankind?
Sceadu is a fast-paced adventure which blurs the boundary between the physical and the psychological, the real and the mythical.

"This is a great book that draws you into the suspense immediately. It is very well written and yet it flows so well it is a breeze to read. A clever play on words throughout the story adds to the mystery and suspense."

"'Sceadu' is a soon to be released book by children’s author Prashant Pinge. At its core it is a young adult fictional piece of work, full of thrills and based on mythology, psychology and fantasy. ‘Sceadu’ follows the adventures of four children who find themselves transported to another world, the world of Sceadu, and their fight to save the human world from evil and return home. It is packed with all the elements essential to keep a young mind intrigued and hooked onto this book till the very end. What stands out most about the book is that the author doesn’t undermine his reader’s intelligence, giving the reader enough to analyse as the book is detailed, descriptive and deep in many aspects. The plot is interesting and the banter between the children keeps this book fun and enjoyable. This book deserves a reading."

So what was the inspiration behind Sceadu?
Sceadu is the old English term for shadow. I have always been fascinated by these supposedly docile grey shapes. But what if they held a land infested with dangerous creatures just waiting to escape into our world and cause devastation? This was the question that inspired me to write Sceadu.

Here's an exciting excerpt:
Matilda jerked back the chair, kicking hard at her shadow. But it snapped back, pulling at her even more viciously. She stomped upon it repeatedly. But the dark grey shape began jabbing at her feet and ankles. Matilda pushed herself up and made a frantic attempt to run. But her legs refused to move, and she almost toppled forward.
All this while, Matilda’s shadow had been growing larger and larger. Suddenly, it lunged out of the ground and swallowed her, like a python does its unsuspecting prey.
