Omaha, NE Middle Schooler Becomes Published Author

By: PR Leap
March 12, 2026 at 04:00 AM EDT
(PRLeap.com) "Memoirs of a Lizard", a new book by Vivaan S. Mahapatra, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Adventure, danger, and a dash of reptilian wisdom await in the debut release from young author Vivaan S. Mahapatra. His new book, "Memoirs of a Lizard", offers a charming and insightful look at the growing pains of independence-from a lizard's point of view.

The story follows a one-year-old lizard as he embarks on the ultimate milestone: moving out on his own. In a relatable quest for the "easy life," the protagonist quickly discovers that cutting corners comes with a cost. After failed attempts to hijack others' homes and snatch free meals, our hero narrowly escapes becoming a meal himself.

Through his "unforgettable journey," the lizard learns a profound truth that resonates with readers of all ages: taking responsibility is ultimately easier than being lazy.
