Ambushed
ISBN 978- 0-143-33360-9
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.
