VIDYUT: Thunder Boy

The Thrissur Chronicles

Nine-year-old Vidyut Menon is Thrissur's brightest young mind. A freak monsoon lightning bolt gives him thunder powers, a super-brain and Future Sight, and every adventure runs on real science: Lorentz force, electrolysis, magnetism and light. Set in real Kerala places, from Vadakkunnathan Temple and Swaraj Round to Athirappilly and Moonupeedika.
