ChanduandtheSuperSetofParents Format: TradePaperback

When Chandu's parents—disappointed by his math grade and squabbling over his future—threaten to ship him off to boarding school, Chandu wonders what it would be like to have a different set of parents. He discovers, hidden in the forest, a curious storefront: The Exchange Your Parents Shop. Enrolling in their Happily Ever After Program, Chandu has the opportunity to become the child of math geniuses, movie superstars, or sports icons. Or he could choose obedient parents that bow to his every wish! Which set of parents will be his perfect fit? Traveling by elephant, peacock, hot air balloon, and even on the back of a tiger, Chandu keeps company with a talking parrot and Mustache Muthu in what becomes the adventure of a lifetime. Chandu and the Super Set of Parents is a fantastical tale of a boy's quest for love, confidence, and acceptance, set against a rich tapestry of Indian food, culture, and customs.
