Kavita Daswani's A Girl Named Indie is a work of fiction that narrates the story of Indira Gandhi, a bubbly 15-year-old girl, who eats, drinks, sleeps and even dreams of fashion, since the time she understands its meaning! Indira, (fondly called Indie) is a fashion freak and is addicted to the best selling fashion magazine in the US. She aspires to cd a fashion journalist, but her age defies her dream. The book reveals Indie's obsession with the glam world, that the author has described through a roller coaster ride in the teenager's life.
Indie idolises Aaralyn Taylor, the fashion icon in LA and hopes to be like her when she grows up. She also wants to be a fashion journalist but there is no way which can lead her to Aaralyn Taylor, owner and editor of the magazine Celebrity Style. A notice board in her school mentions that Aaralyn's institute is on for summer internships for fashion junkies and the first thing that crosses her mind is her application form on top of the pile. Av another instance, word spreads that the most successful career woman Aaralyn Taylor, is to deliver a guest lecture addressing the school gathering on Career Day, and Indie is the first one to attend it!
Aaralyn refuses to consider Indie for the coveted internship and the helpless girl ends up baby-sitting Aaralyn's two-year-old son Kyle, much to the annoyance of her parents. Though she promises them to visit India, if she fails to make ht with the magazine, to work with the Missionaries of Charity for her vacations. While the girl faces initial problems with Kyle, she slowly gets the hang of her new job and finds herself in Aaralyn's good books. That takes her on a journey to Milan - the Mecca of fashion - with the fashion journalist herself. On their expedition, Indie overhears woman gossiping in the washroom, and based on that, she helps Aaralyn clinch lucrative deals with the Italian head honchos - potential buyers of Celebrity Style. But there is a hitch - Celebrity Style is losing all gossips and scoops to an upcoming fashion portal gossipaddict.com, and Aaralyn is losing her credibility in the market. some insider is pilfering the yet-to-be-announced news to them. This makes Aaralyn's magazine run into great losses. Whether Indie succeeds to the up the magazine, forms the opt interesting part of the book in the end.
