Cute story. My daughter (10 yrs old) also flew through this book and loved it. It is magical and suspenseful.
A wonderful story of a young Canadian girl of Indian descent growing up in a small town in Manitoba during the 1970s. It's a classic fish out of water story but with humor and realism. When the heroine's beautiful Indian cousin comes to visit the story really becomes interesting. It's a quick easy read and a fresh take on what it's like to be a middle schooler.
