Slumgirl Dreaming: My Journey to the Stars

Slumgirl Dreaming: My Journey to the Stars

Summary

Rubina Ali doesn't know when her birthday is and she's never eaten chips or pizza. She lives in a rat-infested slum in Mumbai. But after being picked from hundreds of children to star in the multi-Oscar winning film, Slumdog Millionaire, nine-year-old Rubina's life will never be the same again.

This is the true story of how her dreams of being a world-famous actress actually came true. But once her fairy-tale of film sets, parties and Oscars is over, what comes next for Rubina? Can she return to life as normal?

Royalties from this book will be shared with the author and Medecins du Monde in India.
