Princess Fatima has almost everything a twelve-year-old girl could want. Not only does she live in a beautiful palace, but she has her very own flying carpet! Alas, all is not well in Princess Fatima's world. For one thing, Ahmed, her brother-in-law, thinks she's irresponsible and impulsive. His critical remarks make her blood boil. And then there's baby Hassim. Fatima has been tending him for what seems like forever. Fatima's sister, Salime, notices Fatima's sadness and realizes that a change of pace would help set things right. "Why not invite some friends over?" she asks. Fatima jumps for joy and soon squeals of delight are echoing through the palace walls as the girls share secrets and giggles.
