Bookroo's summary

Nina Soni, a spirited Indian American girl, faces chaos as she juggles a forgotten school project, her sister Kavita's birthday, and a strained friendship with Jay. Inspired by a lesson on Alexander Fleming, Nina hopes to make a groundbreaking discovery for her project. But with so much on her plate, can she manage it all with her trusty lists and math skills? Dive into Nina's world of creativity and challenges, where every day is a new adventure. Perfect for young readers who love STEAM and relatable, real-life dilemmas.

From the publisher

The first title in a new series featuring a lovable, distractible Indian-American girl and her family and friends.

Nina tried as hard as she could, but still somehow she forgot about her school project. Fortunately, a class lesson about Alexander Fleming suggests how she might make a great discovery—and thus a great project! But with little sister Kavita’s birthday party right around the corner, and her longtime friendship with Jay on the rocks, Nina has a lot to keep track of.

Readers are sure to relate to author Kashmira Sheth’s endearing Nina Soni and her slightly scatter-brained efforts to manage her life with lists, definitions, and real-life math problems.
