"Moody Mohini belongs to a legendary family of storytellers, telling tall tales is supposed to be in her genes. Except, she doesn't think so - even though her family (as well as just about everyone in Mithika) expects her to be the torchbearer of this rather marvelous tradition. So, cracking under the pressure of a plot line one day, she runs away from home, only to be held hostage by a spunky spirit, who traps her in a strange spell and whisks her off on a whirlwind tour of India and its many storytelling traditions. How else can Mohini break the charm (you guessed it!) by telling a story herself!" -- Back cover.
