Tamarind & the Star of Ishta (Broché)

Tamarind never knew her Indian mum, who died soon after she was born. So when she visits her ancestral home — a huge house in the Himalayas surrounded by wild gardens — she's full of questions. But instead of answers, there's a forbidding silence. To unravel the mystery at the heart of who she is, Tamarind follows a trickle of clues—to an overgrown hut, a star—shaped ring that glows, and a strange girl who calls herself Ishta.
