A PEEK INTO THE STORY
‘Growing Up’ is a story about a group of tweens on their exciting journey through adolescence. They all are going through various physical and emotional changes and are confused. The ‘Growing up' book can help ease their confusion, but the evil frog has cursed Kuku, the Clown, who is the hero of the Growing up book and thus all pages of the book have become blank. A frantic search for the Clown, a strange common dream, Mr. Mistry – their weird teacher, Cool Dadi, Psycho Didi and the case of the missing dog all add to the confusion and fun during this journey down the Puberty lane. As the characters wrestle with the question, “Am I normal?” they learn to cope with the changes affecting their bodies and minds while learning to keep themselves safe.
