Sona Sharma lives in India with her lively, loving family and her wonderful group of friends. School is full of excitement, laughter and the occasional problem that needs solving - especially when big news arrives: their favourite teacher, Miss Rao, is getting married!
At first, Sona and her friends are thrilled. But then a worrying thought creeps in… what if Miss Rao leaves their school after the wedding? Determined not to lose the teacher they adore, the girls try everything they can think of to keep her. They wish on peacock feathers, make hopeful plans and even start a petition!
But as Miss Rao’s beautiful Indian wedding approaches, Sona and her friends discover that sometimes life has surprises that are even better than the ones we imagine.
