Divya Dubey

Nine-year-old Divya's life is turned upside down when her family moves from Delhi, India, to a new city halfway across the world. Suddenly Divya goes from having her own quiet bedroom to sharing one with her cousin, and a crowded home with the rest of her extended family. Plus, she has to go to a new school where the other kids treat her like she's from another planet. Everyone keeps saying change is good-but not if you didn't want to leave home in the first place!

When a family friend asks to have her mehndi party at Divya's family's restaurant, Divya knows just how to decorate to make the party truly magical. But the adults are all busy planning the menu, and no one will listen to Divya's ideas. Divya decides to prove that she is responsible enough to contribute to the party by making a batch of her favorite sweet, ladoo, all by herself. Will she prove herself to her family, or will her plan be a total disaster?
