Synopsis: The Mask in a Smile and Other Stories is a book with short stories. If stories were food to be eaten, you would devour these. They begin normally, with everyday situations and relatable characters, but soon take unexpected twists and turns like a plane takeoff, only you do not know the destination. These stories explore the complexities of life and the masks we wear to hide our true selves. This is where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the line between reality and imagination blurs. They entertain, educate, and capture several themes aligned with CBC. They leave you gasping and breathless, with tears, surprises, relief, and question marks. They take you through every imaginable emotion, so full of imagery that you would not know how you began to cry, laugh, or lie back pensive with question marks. After each story, there are comprehension and literary questions aimed at testing your understanding in comprehension, critical and analytical thinking, as well as exploring themes, stylistic devices, and character traits. Welcome to the fascinating world of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC). From the story teller and author of Fancy Compositions.
