Written by Sita Jit
Illustrated by Abhilasha Khatri
Published by Stone Arch Books
Nine-year-old Divya’s life is turned upside down when her family moves from Delhi, India, to a new city halfway across the world. Divya goes from living as an only child with her own quiet bedroom to sharing a room with her cousin in a crowded home with extended family. Plus, everything is different at her new school too. Everyone keeps saying change is good—but not if you didn’t want to leave home in the first place!
