(4) 4-6 Accompanying her parents on a medical mission to Nepal, twelve-year-old Annie quickly befriends Nirmala, a local village girl, who teaches Annie about Nepal's beauty and inequities and to appreciate her younger sister. Stewart relies heavily on Annie's often corny inner thoughts to convey character development, but she creates a realistic and detailed adventure.
