11-year-old Maya Papaya has a couple of problems. Not only does she have a name like a deranged fruit salad and a four-foot tail with a mind of its own...but her tail is a big secret, so she has to wear these itchy tail pants and can't have sleepovers or go swimming with the other kids. She still lives a fairly normal life with her guardian, Mr. Norbert...until Mr. Norbert's computer tells her she's not really a little girl at all, but something it calls a 'humanimal.' Before Maya can determine what that means, a knock on the door puts events in motion that send Maya all the way across the world, without even Mr. Norbert to protect her. After a long voyage to India, Maya discovers the truth about where she's from, and realizes that she's not the only child who's been created with a few extra abilities...
