Lekha Divekar hates the “dot” on her forehead.
To everyone else, it’s a way to make fun of her, but to Lekha, its just another reminder that’s she‘s different.
Lekha is Indian.
She feels like she has two different identities, School Lekha and Home Lekha. Home Lekha loves looking at her mother's bindis, loves Indian food, music, festivals and dancing. School Lekha is quiet, almost invisible, and gets good grades.
But then someone moves in across the street. Avantika. For once, there’s someone Desi in the Detroit suburbs! Avantika's a little different from Lekha. She doesn’t want to stay invisible, but stand up for herself. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and be herself. From swim team friends to sleepovers, Lekha isn't sure where she stands anymore.
With her two identities being torn apart, can Lekha find the courage to stand up for herself and not be afraid of who she is?
Perfect for fans of Front Desk, A Place At The Table, and The Whole story of Half a Girl, this book will make you laugh in the right places, smile in the right places, and even cry. Funny and heartfelt, this book is all about learning to find your courage.
