<p>"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'.</p><p>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."</p>
