Stuti Kathuria.of class X-I of Delhi Public School RK Puram loves to write. She started getting interested in writing when she entered middle school and ever since then, whenever she saw a blank page in front of her, words just start pouring out..
She came across the WRITE NOW programme, organized by the Quill Club Writers of Scholastic. Over the course of eight wonderful sessions, the book came to life and she was lucky enough to get her story published in it. Her story titled “Heaven Above, Hell Below” is about a young girl discovering herself and her newfound powers. It is a story of how sometimes the people we love do things to protect us and how we can surprise them instead.
