When fifteen-year-old Samir discovers that he’s got new neighbours, he’s horrified: he’s left certain ‘secret documents’ in their flat, which should not be seen by anyone – and especially not by a cute girl his own age like Akhila Handa! But to Samir’s surprise and relief, Akhila is amazingly sporting about them, and pretty soon their friendship blossoms as Samir gets to know the family: the bouncy boxer dog, Akhila’s younger brother Sumit, who is ‘a bit slow’, and their strangely withdrawn mother.
