But not if the determined Akshaya can help it. Before choosing where \u003ci\u003eher\u003c\/i\u003e future lies, she wants to circumnavigate the most historic orb in the universe--the birthplace of humanity: Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAkshaya's parents reluctantly agree to her anthropological challenge--one with no assistance from alloy devices, transport, or wary alloys themselves who manage humanity and the regions of Earth called Loka. It's just Akshaya; her equally bold best friend, Somya; and a carefully planned itinerary threading continent by continent across a wondrous terrain of things she's never seen: blue skies, sunrises, snowcapped mountains, and roiling oceans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the adventure unfolds, the travelers discover love and new friendships, but they also learn the risks of a planet that's not entirely welcoming. On this trek--rapturous, dangerous, and life-changing--Akshaya will discover what human existence really means.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 379\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.2 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41908250148999,"sku":"9781662505065","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/34b9220165e8d39ef0229c16bda67b37.webp?v=1734078675","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/loka-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
