Tuvalu Traveler Chronicles Kindle Edition

Winner of Silver Key for Novel Writing at the 2022 Scholastic Art and Writing Contest

Years ago, the red people came to the island of Tuvalu.

They ransacked the nation, killed the king, and then they all died mysteriously. The citizens of Tuvalu were forced to hide underground, where they’ve remained unseen up till today. Nobody remembers exactly how it happened.

Correction: Kiribati Beru remembers, but nobody takes the senile 80-year old seriously, not until the 14-year old schoolboy Nauru robs his library, that is. Escaping with a small red communist propaganda book in hand, Nauru is transported into an alternate world where his idols from his history books have become ruthless, cunning villains. And the most gut-wrenching part is that it all fits.

Thrown into a quest to escape his homeland and return with the specter of Communism behind him, Nauru enters an unlikely friendship with Kiribati and finds his getaway to the sky-land in the form of a classified military submarine.

Yet things aren’t as they seem in the Soviet Union. In fact, it’s no more.

Journey after journey, Nauru learns about the world and himself – why to love those ancestors he hated, the reasons for the fall of communism, and details about the lives of the sky-people. When things go horribly wrong for him and his nation, he’s forced to rethink his relationship with the outside world.

Nauru makes a final journey to ally with the sky-people and save his people, and Tuvalu’s day of reckoning arrives far sooner than anticipated. Despite forever being taught to never trust an outsider, Tuvalu breaks free.

My name is Eshaan Sombhatta. I live in a suburb of Washington D.C., and have been fortunate enough to visit more than fifty countries, thanks to my parents. I’ve gotten interested in travel through my interest in geography. When I was five, I got a puzzle of the globe. As I slowly put the pieces together, my creation turned alive. I scrutinized the maps my parents gave me, looking at the capitals and cities and oceans of nations. There wasn’t a country in the world that I didn’t recognize.

Five was also when I began to travel seriously. Every holiday, whether it was Labor Day or spring break, the summer holidays or Christmas time, we traveled. Our first travels were within the United States, mostly. But one trip to Iceland changed our perception of worldwide travel. The otherworldly ice and snow made for a paradise only accessible through international trips. So the next year, we visited Europe. It was a short trip, only a few select cities: Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, and Szczecin, but we would follow up the next year with a massive trip to everywhere from Barcelona to Cologne, to even Split, Croatia. We’ve had two more long trips in the summer, while we visit the Caribbean in the fall. Recently, my family and I have branched out to South America, Africa, and Asia.

Throughout my travels, we’ve embarked on unique and interesting experiences.
