A new children's book which aims to help young people navagate the changes and emotions they can experience as they grow up, is set to be released. Gita: The Battle Of The Worlds tells the story of an 11 year old boy who struggles to come to terms with the loss of his father. It's been created by North London friends and mothers Sonal Sachdev Patel and Jemma Wayne-Kattan.

This book takes the epic battle within the Gita and transports it inside the body of a young boy called Dev. A classic story of good overcoming evil, through Dev and Sanjay’s adventure, readers will be able to connect with some of the deeper concepts in the Gita. When eleven-year-old Dev’s father dies, he can’t stop lashing out at those he loves. Until he meets Sanjay, a sprite-like being who claims there is a battle raging inside Dev’s own body.

Sanjay embarks on a perilous journey beginning in the darkest realm at the bottom of Dev’s spine. As he searches for the noble warrior Prince Arjun, the only hope to defeat wicked Prince Ego, Sanjay encounters starving mobs, thieving gangs, water worlds and lands of fire, until at last he finds Arjun on the battlefield, ready to fight for Dev.
