The Mandala Labyrinth Gold (Volume-A)

A parent would reach for this book when their child is struggling with the pressures of high-stakes competition or feels overwhelmed by global news about the environment. It serves as a bridge for children who love sports but need to develop more emotional resilience and empathy toward their rivals. Set in a futuristic triple-planet system, the story follows VJ, a champion of a gravity-defying sport, as he navigates a fierce rivalry with his nemesis, Croco. While the action is fast-paced and imaginative, the heart of the book lies in how these young characters handle jealousy and the weight of their world's history. Because of the PG rating for intense sports violence and sci-fi peril, it is an ideal choice for parents looking to move their middle-grade reader into more complex, high-stakes narratives while still maintaining an age-appropriate format.
