Everything changes when she has an allergic reaction. Thirteen years later, Abby has finally accepted that her dad just isn’t going to be a part of her life. She knew his name and that her parents met in college, but shortly after the semester ended, her dad flew back to India while he mom stayed home in Houston, fully unaware at the time that she was pregnant. Since then I have been on a huge Hindu/Indian kick and I’m pleased to say Abby Spencer Goes to Bollywood didn’t disappoint!Ībby Spencer grew up not knowing her father. Last year I fell head-over-heels for My Basmati Bat Mitvah, a Middle Grade novel about with a Jewish-Indian girl and how she comes to terms with her identity. But as she learns to navigate her new surroundings, she just might discover where she really belongs. Abby is overwhelmed by the culture clash, the pressures of being the daughter of India’s most famous celebrity, and the burden of keeping her identity a secret. She just never imagined he would be a huge film star–in Bollywood! Now she’s traveling to Mumbai to get to know her famous father. Summary: What thirteen-year-old Abby wants most is to meet her father. Source: e-ARC via netgalley (thank you, Albert Whitman & Company!!) Abby Spencer Goes to Bollywood by Varsha Bajaj
