In the third of the Foxy Four adventures, Charu, Padma, Jahan and Mandy are at it again: solving mysteries, breaking the rules, dodging eagle-eyed gatekeepers, careening around in Aunt Razia’s car, and driving their school principal crazy!

Travel with our four feisty friends to a crumbling old haveli in Bhopal; to the Kalakshetra dance school in Chennai; pandal-hopping at Durga Puja; and crime-busting in the gullies of Old Delhi.

Each story is narrated by one of the girls. Mandy, the fashionista babe, reveals a surprising brain beneath that perfect hair. Padma may be a computer geek, but she knows a thing or two about classical dance. Jahan seems like the cool-headed type, but even she gets the shivers in a haunted haveli. And then there’s Charu, who everyone knows, is just destined to be a writer…

The Foxy Four are BACK! Mandy, Padma, Jahan and Charu – along with Razia, the ‘Aunt who Rocks’ – are on their way to India’s holiest city, Varanasi, to take part in a national quiz. But when a rare idol of a goddess is stolen from a temple nearby, they soon discover that there’s more to puzzle out than quiz questions. And when a film crew rolls into town, the girls become entangled in a plot straight out of Bollywood.

Their quest takes them through the narrow lanes and beautiful ghats of an ancient city, encountering astrologers and godmen, heroines and reporters… and a rather charming young priest. Can the intrepid four outwit a bunch of clever criminals? Will Mandy ever become a film star? Will Jahan really have to change her name? Can the girls save the goddess before she is smuggled out of the country? Find out in Star Struck! – the second ‘Foxy Four’ adventure!
