Description

An exciting Indian wedding tradition helps a young girl accept the new members of her expanding family.

Shilpa's whole family has gathered for her big sister's wedding. But Shilpa doesn't want Maya to get married--she wants her family to stay the same. Worse yet, she has to hang out with Rishi, the super-annoying younger brother of the groom. The only thing she's excited for is the joota chupai: an action-packed Indian wedding tradition where the two sides of the family face off in a contest to snatch the groom's shoes. Winning will take more than quick reflexes and an extra-sneaky plan--Shilpa will also need to rely on her new relatives and learn that a growing family isn't such a bad thing after all.

Critical Reviews

"A sweet, playful tale about stealing shoes and finding family." --Kirkus

"...her fears about losing her sibling and integrating into a new family are both relatable and beautifully explored." --Kirkus
