curbj402 said: Maya, a multi-ethnic girl, goes to India with her mom to sell her grandparent’s house. While she is there she meets someone who is very close to her family, and learns about things that she had no clue about. There is a theme of learning more about yourself through your family. In the end she gets to choose what matters to her. The vocabulary includes Indian language with a glossary in the back. The cover art is a photograph with a border and design around it. It appears to be the shadow of a girl wandering, searching for something perhaps. The border looks like a Persian rug and gives a hint to the setting or background of the story.
