Bored with her little brother Pog's childish games, Dindy decides that
she's finally grown-up enough for a real adventure. While her mother is
sleeping and the servants are busy, she takes Pog deep into the tea
gardens, a place they are never supposed to go alone. Terrified by wild
animals and snubbed by the local children, Dindy starts to realize how
little she really knows about India, even though it's the only place
she's ever called home. But little does she know her life is about to be
turned upside down when her mother is taken ill and her father tells her
they are leaving India, for good. This is a wonderful portrait of a
young British child coming to terms with leaving her beloved childhood
home, while at the same time realizing that many of the things she has
been raised to believe are wrong.
