A Big Splash

DESCRIPTION

Friends don't say mean things about you behind your back. Friends let you play cricket with them even when they don't need an extra fielder. A falling-out with her friends drives thirteen-year-old Dhivya to seek solace in the waters of the village tank. That day, she receives some advice and is sucked into the world of competitive swimming, far away from her home near the cotton fields in . Soon, she makes friends with another swimmer - Ambika. Will Dhivya be able to hold on to this friendship? Nivedha Ganesh spins fiction from facts with verve and imagination in a story that's humorous, relatable, and inspiring all at once.
