Then things really started to unfold... Oliver, the oldest got kidnapped and the others try to free him from the evil hands of Dorox Dark, who is trying to free his brother...
Since the very young age Laiba has been showing inclination and interest in reading and writing. She started her effort to write small stories and phrases on pieces of papers and used glue on walls of her house. Then she turned to write small essays and stories in note books and later started using laptop.

Laiba inherited her passion for reading from her grandfathers, KM Abdur Raheem and Mohammed Parakkadavu, who were ardent readers and social activists in GCC. The wholehearted support from her father Abdul Basit and mother Thasneem Mohammed has encouraged Laiba’s literary skills and she is planning to release her second book as part of this series soon.
