Karma Khullar's Mustache

Karma Khullar's Mustache

In the tradition of Judy Blume, debut author Kristi Wientge tackles the uncomfortable—but all too relatable—subject of female body hair and self-esteem with this “sparkling and triumphant tale of a middle school misfit” (Heather Vogel Frederick).<BR><BR>Karma Khullar is about to start middle school, and she is super nervous. Not just because it seems like her best friend has found a newer, blonder best friend. Or the fact that her home life is shaken up by the death of her dadima. Or even that her dad is the new stay-at-home parent, leading her mother to spend most of her time at work. But because she’s realized that she has <i>seventeen</i> hairs that have formed a mustache on her upper lip.<BR> <BR>With everyone around her focused on other things, Karma is left to figure out what to make of her terrifyingly hairy surprise all on her own.
