Marya Khan and the Incredible Henna Party is about Marya, whose eighth birthday is coming up in a week. All she wants is an over-the-top birthday party, just like the ones Alexa, her rich neighbour, always throws.

When Alexa parades into school with fancy invitations, Marya can’t help herself—she claims that she’s having the most epic henna party ever. Now, she has to convince her family to make it happen. Enter Operation Help the Khans!

Marya’s siblings clearly need help with their projects. Maybe she could cook dinner for her parents or clean her grandmother’s room? Except everything Marya does seems to end in disaster.

Will Marya and her family be able to pull it together and throw the best party ever?!
