Dorji by Alex Rothman

Written by Alex Rothman

Dorji is just another ordinary Class IX boy growing up in rural Bhutan. Like many other Bhutanese boys his age, he likes playing football with friends and watching action movies but is not very fond of public speaking, reading books or thinking about where the future might take him. However, Class IX turns his life upside down and Dorji soon finds himself wanting to make changes that will take him in surprising new directions.
