As Karma Khullar prepares to enter middle school, her life has taken several dramatic turns. First her beloved Dadima passes away. Then her mother became the primary breadwinner, leaving her father as the stay-at-home parent. Never mind that her best friends seems to be ditching her for another friend. And as if that weren't enough, suddenly Karma has noticed a small mustache budding above her upper lip--seventeen black hairs to be exact. With everyone else busy and preoccupied, Karma is left to figure out her hairy situation alone.
