I found the story very sweet and simple, with a strong moral, and lots of action.
It was gripping and full of unexpected little extra twists, mirroring how a longer book might jump across settings and switch between plots, which I appreciated as a teacher.
Nina and the Traveling Spice Shed is fantastic! I read it to my sixyearold daughter, and her first reaction was "Can we get the next one" It was a great magical adventure that exposed her to new country and culture.
My daughter really liked Nina and exploring Kashmir, Bollywood and the Indian wilderness, always know when my daughter likes a book because she asks to read it again, We've read it twice so far, and we are both really looking forward to the next one!

It's funny and enjoyable, and great for dispelling stereotypes about India, I can imagine that children of Indian heritage would really enjoy reading about a girl like them, but also children of other heritages would enjoy it too.
