From Lyari to Amazon: Nazneen Bukhari Makes History as South Asia’s Youngest Crime Novelist
An 11-year-old student from Lyari, Karachi, Nazneen Bukhari has made history by becoming the youngest female author to publish a psychological crime/thriller novel, surpassing India’s Janaki R. Menon, who held the record after publishing her thriller at the age of 12.

Nazneen, a student of Al-Raheem School, authored “Fragments of the Bleeding Sky,” now available on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). The book has been praised by Amazon’s editorial team for its emotional depth and mature storytelling, calling it “a powerful testament to the rising voices of youth in literature.”
Hailing from Lyari — a culturally rich yet underrepresented area of Karachi, often facing up to 16 hours of load shedding daily — Nazneen’s achievement stands as a beacon of hope for young writers everywhere, especially girls from marginalized communities.
With this record-breaking accomplishment, Nazneen has not only brought pride to Pakistan but has also set a new standard for youth literature across South Asia. Her journey as a writer has only just begun.
The book is now available for readers worldwide on Amazon.
