Synopsis
Hello, dear readers! Get ready for a thrilling, heartwarming, and often hilarious journey with Harnum, a space squirrel from another planet who crash-lands somewhere deep in the jungles of India. Stranded and confused, Harnum must first survive among wild jungle creatures with instincts far more primitive than his own. But things only get more intense when he stumbles into the chaotic streets of Pune city, where he's mistaken for just another animal... until humans realize he's something far more extraordinary. Captured, chased—and always thinking on his furry feet—Harnum must use his wits, courage to navigate a world that's both beautiful and dangerous.
