The books of an eleven-year-old voracious reader — and host of Readathon Live. Chosen by her, finished by her, recommended in her own words.
Most of The Shelf is curated by the grown-ups of this foundation. This page is not. This is Sarangi's shelf — Readathon Live's host, an unschooler, and the fastest reader in our house by a comfortable margin. The books here are hers: chosen by her, finished by her, recommended (or cheerfully dismissed) in her own words.
We built this page because a child telling you a book is brilliant lands completely differently than an adult telling you to read. That belief runs through everything we do with families — this page is simply the proof, kept live.
Verified from Readathon, mid-2026 — to be refreshed with her, with a line on each in her own words.
Not by genre or reading level — by feeling. Sarangi is sorting her favourites into her own piles, named in her own words.
One honest number, updated when she feels like it. No streaks, no gamification — that's the lesson the first season taught us.
