Gifted | Nikita Lalwani

Cardiff in the 1980's is a place where maths can get you noticed. Rumis Vasi is the town's 'maths prodigy': untangling numbers and Rubik's Cubes protects her from the harsh vagaries of the playground and gives a pattern to her world. This book brings us a story of aspirations and longing, and of the sometime loneliness of childhood.
