The ‘SHIMLA Investigators’ series is a brainchild of Chaudhry, the lead author, which will have 21 books.
The first book is "Lost in the Apple Country", co-authored by Chaudhry and Gauri, a 12-year-old student of Convent of Jesus and Mary in Shimla. This enchanting tale promises to transport readers to a world of mystery, betrayal and wonder within the heart of the apple country, Jubbal, also the home town of Gauri.
The second, "The Fatal Arrival", crafted by Chaudhry and Atharv, a 14-year-old Class 9 student of Modern School in Kundali in Haryana's Sonipat, is a gripping saga of tragedy, drugs and kidnapping that keeps readers on the edge from start to finish.
The "Deadly Kitty", penned by Chaudhry in collaboration with Sirisha, a second-year college student pursuing B.Sc Honours (Forestry) from Dr. Y.S.
