One day, her sketchbook's calming effect is broken when her mythological characters begin springing to life right out of its pages. Kiki's sketchbook is full of fanciful doodles of the rich Indian myths and legends her mother has told her over the years. Did she lock the front door? Is there a terrible reason her mom is late?
