Gadget geek Tara braces herself for the dullest summer ever, when her father whisks her off to a sleepy tiger reserve in the Himalayan foothills, where Nothing Ever Happens.
​
She couldn't have been more wrong.
​
A stroll through the woods sends Tara on an adventure of a lifetime, as she stumbles upon a gang of poachers. A tigress and her cubs must be saved, and Tara's only accomplice is her mysterious new friend, Satya.
​
But can this unlikely pair save the day? Or will they need saving themselves?

All royalties from Ambushed go to Tiger Watch, an NGO in Rajasthan, for a school set up for the children of former poachers belonging to the marginalised Moghiya tribe, to give them a window to alternate livelihoods.
