At sixteen, Rahul Alvares skipped a year of school to learn from the living world instead. He studied snakes and crocodiles, chased mushrooms and earthworms, watched spiders spin, and traveled India from plant festivals to Kerala. His diary of that year is bright, curious, and full of hands-on natural history. A joyful reminder that the best classroom often has no walls.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
