Sai Dhruti, Class 5, Vignan World One School, Hyderabad
In the distant galaxy of Zynara, there was a planet unlike any other—a planet where no adult dared to step foot. Known as Childopia, it was a paradise ruled entirely by kids. The sky sparkled with colors that changed every hour, and treehouses as tall as skyscrapers served as homes. Rivers of candy flowed through lush fields, and chocolate mountains dotted the horizon. The laws were simple: laughter was mandatory, school was a place for games, and no one was allowed to be boring. Leadership was decided through epic scavenger hunts, and every decision was made in the Grand Playroom, a hall filled with bouncing balls and glow-in-the-dark slides. The kids of Childopia thrived, inventing new games, creating wild adventures, and building a world where imagination was the only rule. But beneath the joy, whispers of an ancient secret lingered—why were adults forbidden from this land, and what would happen if one ever entered?
