The Hidden Pool

Laurie, an English boy in a small hill town of India, strikes up an unlikely friendship with Anil, the son of a local cloth merchant, and Kamal, an orphan who sells buttons and shoelaces but dreams of going to college. One day the three discover a secret pool on the mountainside, and it is there that they plan their greatest escapade yet - a trek to the Pindari Glacier, where no one from their town has gone before.
