From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. A year after their mother's sudden death, 14-year-old Geena, 12-year-old Ambajit (Amber), and 11-year-old Jazvinder (Jazz), aka the Bindi Babes, may be perfectly behaved and rule at school and at home (in England), but they still haven't dealt with the loss of their mom. Then Auntie arrives from India and tries to interfere with their carefully constructed routines and coping mechanisms. In an effort to be rid of her, the sisters decide to find her a husband. If they can just get her to their school, they'll orchestrate a meeting with Amber's gorgeous teacher, Mr. Arora. But are these "perfect" girls able to unbend enough to misbehave? Indian words describing food, clothing, and familial relationships add cultural flavor to the story, but girls from everywhere will relate to the main characters. Although there is some sense of the girls' grieving process, the overall tone of the story is light and innocent as the girls come to realize that being perfect is no substitute for dealing with a life-altering event. A sequel, Bollywood Babes, is planned for March 2005. Cindy Welch

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7–Actress Nina Wadia adeptly performs Narinder Dhami's modern tale of three young Indian sisters living in England who are trying to cope with the recent death of their beloved mother (Delacorte, 2004). A year after the tragedy, their father's sister arrives to help the family cope. The sisters find her presence unbearably interfering and so plot together to find ways to compel Auntie to leave. Wadia's voice is pitch-perfect for the narrative voice of 12-year-old Amber. Since the author's writing makes it clear who is speaking, subtle tone changes are often all the narrator uses to represent different characters. Younger listeners may find Indian cultural references ("Bollywood") and some British terms ("trainers" for sneakers) confusing. The blend of humor, Indian culture, and the concerns of today's teens make this a fun read for middle schoolers.–Jennifer Iserman, Dakota County Library, Burnhaven Branch, Eagen, MN

If you like books that are smart, sassy, and have dialogue so real (and so funny) that you swear the author is hiding behind a bush transcribing the conversations of teenage girls, you will like this series. I am an adult, and laughed out loud many times... There is a good heart under all the mayhem. This is one book my daughter found in the library, but it was taken over by me (later by her too!). The series has an element of sophistication that I believe would be appreciated by readers of all ages.

In the cleverly written chapter book, you will learn of an interesting culture (the Indian culture) while reading a great book with a good plot. In BINDI BABES, sisters Geena, Amber and Jazz are still in shock from the death of their mother when their Auntie comes to help out around the house. Geena, Amber and Jazz are used to being spoiled to the core, but when their Auntie came around, everything changed. Auntie wouldn't let their father buy them anything they wanted aswell as many other things the sisters were not used to. To get their life back to normal, Geena, Amber and Jazz decide that marrying Auntie off would be best...
