Weird book deal of the day

Nikita Lalwani's first novel THE SQUARE ROOT, about a young British Indian adolescent math prodigy whose parents are grooming her to attend Oxford University at age fourteen, to Jennifer Hershey at Random House, at auction, in a two-book deal, by Jin Auh at The Wylie Agency (US).
Just more proof that the whole South Asian prodigy thing has Opal Mehta-stasized far beyond any harm that some plagarism scandal could bring.
