In 2011, at 15 years of age, Janidu released his first YA novel titled “The mystery of the 35th floor.” This was his stepping stone into a passionate journey in writing. Although this was his first publication it was his second completed manuscript. “When I was 11 years old I wrote a book called ‘The Mystery of the Blue Diamond which was never published’ says Janidu. “The 35th floor on the other hand was something I gave my father to read who went on to say ‘you should publish this’ ”.
The book was released at the National library services board of Colombo in August, 2011.
