Faces In The Water by Ranjit Lal [Paperback]

Faces in the Water tells the story of Gurmi, a fifteen-year-old boy from the Diwanchand family, known for having only sons. The family attributes this to a magical well on their farm. One day, Gurmi goes in search of the well and is shocked to see the faces of three girls staring up at him from the water, drawing him into a world of fun, games, and cyber magic. As he uncovers the dark truth behind the well, Gurmi realizes terrible crimes have been committed in the name of society's obsession with male heirs. With the help of the ghost-girls, he must confront this dark legacy and prevent further atrocities. The story blends humor and sensitivity to expose the grim consequences of gender-based injustice.
