A Sinhala-language novel for young readers by H.G. Jayasumana, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The whole text is in Sinhala — there is no English translation within it, so a reader will need to be comfortable in the language to follow the story.
The publisher describes it as a work of adventure written for the teenage mind: heroism, suspense and curiosity carry the narrative, and scientific knowledge is worked into the fiction rather than set out separately. That pairing — a story that holds a young reader's attention while passing on something factual — is the book's stated aim.
It will suit Sinhala-reading families abroad looking for fiction their children can read in the language at home, and readers building a collection of Sri Lankan writing for young people. M. D. Gunasena & Co. is a long-established Colombo publisher and bookseller with a substantial list in Sinhala.
