About this ebook
Sona wishes some things would never change! Can she and her friends find a way to keep their beloved teacher from moving to her new husband’s city?
Sona and her friends are eager for their midterm break to begin, but Sona’s plans to write a book and go on adventures are pushed aside when her teacher, Miss Rao, announces that she’s getting married—and Sona and her classmates are all invited! But Sona’s excitement sours when she and her friends realize that after the wedding, Miss Rao might go to live with her husband in a different city. What if she never returns? Sona wishes Miss Rao would never get married! Appa promises that change doesn’t mean goodbye forever, and Amma reassures her that “fortune favors the brave.” She tells Sona that if she wants something, she should go make it happen. Can determination and a warm heart—together with wishes on peacock feathers and an earnest petition to Miss Rao herself—help Sona to keep her adored teacher close? This book will be utterly relatable to any reader determined never to say goodbye.
