"In this book about new and unorthodox ways of learning in the classroom, we first meet our protagonist Cuebee, a student in an archetypal classroom in urban India - vivacious and full of curiosity. Like so many other children, Cuebee is hungry for knowledge and information, and not all the questions she asks are from the 'syllabus'.
Working with the idea that children can sometimes learn more when exposed to the world outside the textbooks, syllabus and classrooms, the authors take us on a journey along with Cuebee, and through questions, experiments, and interactions, the book outlines unusual and unorthodox ways learning and teaching that go beyond the syllabus and the typical teaching-learning methods."
