Maja Steinansikt

Maja har indianertelt på takterrassen, farer gjennom byens gater på rulleskøyter og tåler dårlig alle denne verdens cowboyer. Noen dager er likevel verre enn andre. Som den dagen da bestevenninnen Silvia skal flytte, lillebror roterer i mammas mage - og Maja oppdager at pappa har en hemmelighet... Men nåde den som truer en ekte indianer! Maja kan nemlig mange magiske tricks, som gjør at hun får det som hun vil! Og enda flere tricks lærer hun av Gloria, som har som hobby å redde folk og dyr, har bodd lenge i foreldrefri sone og har 23 arr over hele kroppen. Bare ikke ved hjertet.

Maya Stoneface

What happens to 10-year-old Maya when she discovers that the worlds best dad has a long-legged, dark-haired secret? If your Indian name is Maya Stoneface, you put on your war paint with your best friend Silvia and raise the war-cry. But Maya finds herself alone after Silvia moves away and Mom goes to the hospital to have her baby brother. It is then that Maya discovers her independence and thats when things begin to happen. Maya meets Gloria who has determined that parents are best kept separately, but Maya, like most children, wants a mother and a father in the same place, and takes matters into her own hands.
