She doesn\u2019t speak Bengali, she\u2019s at that awkward stage of pimples and endless limbs, she doesn\u2019t want to move to California, and she\u2019s madly in love with the coolest boy in her school who just might like her back. When her perfectly gorgeous cousin, Pinky, arrives from India to exacerbate Maya\u2019s insecuritiesl, Maya prays to Pinky\u2019s round-bellied Hindu elephant god, Ganesh, for help. She goes through a 13 Going on 30 sort of transformation, without the fast-forward, literally becoming an assertive, multilingual, overnight beauty. But then, getting her wishes granted is just the beginning to realizing what she really wants in life.
