At the age of five, parents help their kids with their broken language and try to impart in them better communication skills. Children at the age of 5 read short stories and play with the alphabet to hone their language. But there's a wonder kid in Bengaluru, India who started writing stories when every kid of her age was still learning the A, B, Cs of language. For her exceptional ability, she was chosen for the Global Child Prodigy Award 2020. Let's get into the world of this amazing child to know more about her.

Started To Pen At An Unbelievable Age:

Ananya Rajaraman is a class 10 student of Greenwood High International School. While other children listen to bedtime stories at the age of two, Ananya already started to pen short stories out of her imagination. Fantasy poured in from her ink so effortlessly that by the age of 5 years, she had already penned 175 short stories. The genre 'fantasy' came to her so naturally and her vivid imagination took it to the next level.

The Youngest Crime-fiction Author:

Ananya was always enthralled by "crime fiction", thrill and adventure being her all-time buddies. Ananya sat down to pen her first novel and at the age of seven, she has already released her first adventure novelette. Magnus Hooper (as the Criminal Sleeps), is her first book that was published in 2016. As a sequel to this, in 2018, she published Magnus Hooper: A Contentious Inheritance. With this, Ananya became the youngest crime-fiction author in the country according to the India Book of Records. Thus she grabbed her position in the literary world at a very young age of 10.
