About Anya the Explorer
Anya is 12 years old. She loves to ask questions and never stops wondering where her father went. When she boards a spaceship with her robot friend Grumpy, her search begins. Every place she visits brings new challenges. Some she has to solve, some she has to navigate, and some she simply has to face. Along the way, she learns how space shapes reality, how science can help her make sense of the unknown, and how patience, courage, and curiosity guide her through uncertainty.
Her adventure is just beginning. Told in a comic style format that blends real space science with emotional storytelling, Anya the Explorer inspires readers to think, to wonder, and to keep going no matter how far the question takes them.
Will she find her father?
Or will the journey reveal something even greater?

How the Anya Initiative Works?
Inspire
A live, localised, hands-on Anya mission introduction event sparks curiosity and sets the theme for the term.
Engage
Each participant receives an Anya Mission Pack with the book and materials to run experiments in class or at home.
Learn & Explore
Quarterly mission packs are delivered offline with a hands on kit, a printed workbook, puzzles, and guided challenges that lead learners to predefined learning outcomes.
Sustain Impact
A new story and theme arrive each year, bringing missions, classroom extensions, and community challenges that build learning value over time.
There’s a quiet space Anya still holds onto. It is where she and her father built things together, tested ideas, and turned questions into small adventures.
Now she is sharing that world with you. From time to time, she brings out something from their old garage, a memory, an activity, a challenge worth trying together.
It is her way of holding on to what mattered most. Maybe it can become a part of your story too.
About the Author
The creator of Anya the Explorer believes every child deserves a way in. To the stars. To science. To stories that make them feel they belong. Vikram’s work in astronomy and space learning has reached thousands of young minds across cultures, languages, and abilities, built on the idea that curiosity should always be within reach.
Anya the Explorer was born from that same belief. It brings together science and imagination, questions and courage, and carries the voice of a girl searching the universe, shaped by someone who has spent a lifetime making space feel open to everyone.

I am told it is more exciting. I am also told there are surprise goodies involved. I do not fully understand the appeal of surprises, but Anya insists they are worth it.
Prebook now. I will make sure your name is added to the list.
