Description
Description
The Chowtas ruled over Ullal and surrounding areas of coastal Karnataka.
Many rulers in this dynasty were women, and at least two carried the name
Rani Abbakka. They have gone down in history and folklore as fearsome
warriors who fiercely defended their tiny kingdom, and repeatedly defeated
the Portuguese. This is the story of Abbakka III.
Abbakka grows up knowing she will rule over the kingdom one day-the one
that was ruled by her grandmother Abbakka II and her mother Rani Tirumala
Devi. Abbakka trains with all her heart in everything a queen needs to know,
and never tires of hearing the tales of sea battles that her grandmother waged
against the firangis. But Abbakka is also a young girl who loves adventure.
She sets out on dangerous missions to track down spies on the seas. She
accompanies her mother in a secret plan to outwit the Portuguese as they
try to capture the kingdom's precious pepper crop. And then there is the
handsome, mysterious boy from Mangalore, who she likes enormously...
Steeped in the culture and history of the region, The Teenage Diary of Abbakka
is the fictional diary of an unusual girl growing up during an exciting time-a
girl who would eventually go to any lengths to protect and defend her
kingdom.
