A Time to Dance
A Time to
Dance is an inspirational book about a young Indian dancer named Veda.
Written by an Indian author named Palma Venkatramam, the book reveals many
things about Indian culture, and the Buddhist religion. Veda loved to dance
since she was a child and began learning the traditional Bharatanatyam dance
which honors God. After winning a Bharatanatyam dance competition, Veda lost part
of one leg in an accident. With the help of an American doctor named Jim, who
builds her prosthetic limb, Veda plans to become a great dancer all over again.
This book is a great tool for learning about the Indian
culture and Buddhist religion; the reader slowly gains knowledge on both
subjects without really noticing. Along with that, it's also an interesting
story with a lot of emotion in it. I recommend reading this book, although it
is probably directed toward teenage girls rather than boys.
