Lifelong Texan Abby Spencer, thirteen, had no idea that her absent father is a Bollywood movie star--and none of his millions of adoring fans know he has a daughter. When she departs for Mumbai to finally meet him, Abby doesn't know what she's getting into. The mostly lighthearted plot holds few surprises, but Mumbai's beauty--and poverty--are creditably developed.
