Bollywood takes center stage in this captivating and enchanting middle-grade novel, where an Indian American girl's world is turned upside down when she unintentionally unleashes glamorous song-and-dance routines in her everyday life.
Eleven-year-old Sonali ponders if the same exuberant singing and dancing ensues when people part ways in Bollywood. However, the reality at home is far from harmonious, with her parents on the brink of separation. Sonali's younger brother, Ronak, is grappling with the news, often expressing his distress through tears. For Sonali, the idea of openly expressing her emotions is utterly embarrassing, as it would expose her vulnerability and render her "not okay." Yet, something extraordinary transpires, perhaps even magical. When Sonali finds herself overwhelmed during a school field trip, she cannot suppress her feelings as usual—instead, she unexpectedly breaks into a Bollywood song-and-dance routine, expressing her frustration.
The following morning, Sonali wakes up to a startling realization—her reality has undergone a remarkable transformation. The world around her appears brighter, almost too bright. Her parents have undergone Bollywood makeovers, and her friends have also joined the chorus of song and dance. Everyone seems to be embracing this peculiar phenomenon as if it were perfectly normal.
Aware that something is amiss, Sonali suspects that her mismanaged emotions hold the key to unraveling the mystery. She embarks on a quest to understand the underlying cause, determined to rectify the situation before it spirals out of control. With determination and resilience, Sonali navigates through a series of challenges, using her newfound Bollywood skills to connect with others and find a way to restore harmony to her world.
