    What thirteen-year-old Abby wants most is to meet her father. She just never imagined he would be a huge film star—in Bollywood! Now she's traveling to Mumbai to get to know her famous father. Abby is overwhelmed by the culture clash, the pressures of being the daughter of India's most famous celebrity, and the burden of keeping her identity a secret. But as she learns to navigate her new surroundings, she just might discover where she really belongs.

      For thirteen years Abby Spencer has lived in Houston, Texas with her mother and her grandparents. She’s been waiting until her mother thinks she’s “old enough” to have “the Conversation” about who her father is. Then an allergic reaction at the frozen yogurt shop makes the time now. Her father, a student from India, was her mother’s college boyfriend. They’ve been out of touch for Abby’s whole life. When Abby’s mother makes contact to get medical information about allergies they discover that her dad is one of the most popular film stars in India! The next thing she knows, Abby is on a transcontinental flight to Mumbai to meet her father, an extremely famous Bollywood “rhymes with Tex-Mex” symbol! Oh My Goodness!!
