  Never Give UpBook Description 
  How does it feel to enter an entirely new city with tons of hopes at your back? What does it take to go against the odds and win against the best? How does a human complete the meaning of their life? 
    
  Never Give Up sheds light on the story of an amazingly talented girl, Anna, who is ready to mount the highs of the Earth. Her numb leg, frequent failures, or poor background doesn't stop her from fighting against the whole world on her own. 
    
  With the turn of events, Anna lands in an unfavorable situation in California- nothing in her pockets and no shelter to live in. Anna is done and ready to give up, but Gwen enters her life as a bright torch. 
    
  However, Gwen’s arrival doesn't mean the end of problems; instead, it is just the beginning. With the turn of events, the duo found themselves competing against each other in an international competition. Naturally, their amazing friendship for each other has increased during all this time, but you can't have two winners. 
    
  Life takes Anna from the villages of Chali to the modernistic city of New York and back to Chali as an established designer that is ready to change the world. But, it isn't going to be easy. The Jagirdar is a living danger, but Anna's confidence is unshaken. Will Anna be able to succeed in her aim? Or Will she have to commit to the inhumane practices of the tyrannical head? 
    
  Never give up is a story about motivation, courage, and determination; it teaches its readers about the importance of not giving up; Anna's story highlights how commitment to a goal and the power to fight against your limitations can help anyone break their mental bounds and shine like the brightest star.

  Losses at sea bring shadows to an otherwise idyllic childhood, but everything Grace learns growing up on the coast is put to the test in 1838, when The Forfarshire is wrecked on the Harcar Rock, and she has to row out through the storm to the rescue. 
  Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8. 
  This bestseller is not just a story of survival, but a testament to a young girl's self-reliance and self-esteem. Set in Europe, this historical fiction is a perfect blend of adventure and family themes.
