A Sinhala-language youth novel by Lal Premanath De Mel, issued by the Colombo publisher M. D. Gunasena & Co. It received a State Literary Award as the best youth novel of its year, and has remained in circulation among Sinhala readers for a long time since.
The book belongs to the yovun katha tradition — fiction written for adolescent readers rather than young children. Its concerns are the seriousness of what young people think, and the part they take in the development of the country.
One point for buyers outside Sri Lanka: the text is entirely in Sinhala, in Sinhala script. There is no English in it. It will suit Sinhala-reading teenagers, families abroad keeping up their children's reading in the language, school and community libraries serving Sinhala speakers, and adult readers returning to a title they may have read at school.
