Fourteen-year-old author Jobina Shovaleka has released her second book, ‘We Will Always Remember That One Girl Named Lilly’.
Shovaleka said the book is about a girl, who is trying do find her way through life after high school.
Her first book, ‘The Aliens’ telling the story two girls who hear strange noises and make unexpected friends was launched last year.
The author said her second book is for a more grown audience as the the first book would entertain smaller kids.
“This book means a lot to me. The message from my new book is simply just to be kind. I chose this message because a lot of us teenagers tend to be rude to one another,” Shovaleka said.
Shovaleka said while writing this book she hardly faced challenges. She said her second offering was easier to publish.
“I already had a publisher. Printing cost is always a problem,” she said.
Shovaleka said she enjoys writing because it enables her to be creative and use her imagination.
