It's almost Divali and there's lots to do. Preeta and her family go out shopping for new clothes for the celebration - but then Preeta gets lost. Will she be found in time for the party? Meanwhile, Prince Rama and Princess Sita are banished from their kingdom to the jungle, where Sita is kidnapped by demons. The monkey God, Hanuman, comes to Rama's aid but will they ever find Sita again?

Review:
Well told. -- TES 20020906 'an attractive new series which manages to use lively, well-illustrated fiction as a back-drop for RE, Citizenship and PSHE without being off-puttingly didactic or preachy.' -- School Librarian Journal, Winter 2002 20020906
