"Strangers are friends we haven't come to know yet... Tara and her best friend, Farida, are experts at the traditional Indian game of Pallanguzhi. But when Tara's family relocates to the UK, Tara has to say goodbye to her best friend. Who will she beat at Pallanguzhi now? As her parents get their new home ready, Tara and her brother check in to Camp Wilderness, which is not really Tara's thing. Instead of exploring nature, she sets out to find a new friend using the Friendship Theorem. When in doubt, use Maths--that's Tara's motto. But as Tara applies her theorem on her camp circle, could she be missing a friendship that is blossoming right under her nose?"--Page 4 of cover.
