Description
Nine-year-old Tavishi is dragged by her mother to set up a library in a faraway mountain school in Ladakh. That’s when the disasters start piling up…
A lurking grey ‘ghost’; Treks across ‘moonscapes’ with donkeys;
And a bad start with the teacher’s daughter Tashi!
She has to get back NOW.
Then, Tavishi’s super-active imagination lands her and Tashi in trouble.
Can that same imagination get them out?
Read Tavishi’s travel diary to find out…
A laugh-out-loud story of friendship and adventure, annoying moms, and new beginnings…
Includes photos that give you a peek into the culture and landscape of La-la Land – the glorious mountainous region of Ladakh!
