In 1970, twelve-year-old Zeyna has grown up in London but has never quite felt like she fits in.
Her monotonous life is suddenly interrupted when Zeyna’s parents decide to visit their native Pakistan—where Zeyna feels she doesn’t fit in either. But then her parents disappear, leaving behind a string of clues that connect them to an international jewel heist. Along with her annoying little brother and her clever Pakistani cousin, Zeyna sets out to find her parents and clear their names. Along the way, she discovers that being shaped by two cultures doesn’t have to mean she’s always an outsider.
