Sona Sharma – A Friend Indeed is a delightful story about Sona Sharma, a young girl living in India. She learns all about school elections, the ups and downs of best friends, and how to choose what matters most in life.
"Warmly loving and evocative" – The Guardian
When Miss Rao announces that there's going to be an election for Class Leader, Sona is excited to stand as a candidate – until she finds herself competing against her best friends, Joy and Renu. When the three girls fall out, Sona must decide what matters most – winning the election or proving herself to be a true friend indeed.
With the support of her wise family, perhaps Sona can learn that there is often more than one way to be a winner.
