Vanvas is a journey of a boy, Lampan, towards teenage. his life in very small but beautiful village, his Grandparents and friends make this journey very beautiful. You can't stop reading and each chapter is written very beautifully. The descriptions about places like forests, lanes , school are very nice. His method of thinking reminded myself about my thoughts at similar age. The language spoken by charcters is of south maharashtra-Belgava, my region :-) . You feel the essence.
