When Sonali gets upset during a field trip, she can’t bury her feelings like usual-instead, she suddenly bursts into a Bollywood song-and-dance routine about why she’s upset! But then something strange happens, something magical, maybe. It’s embarrassing to let out so many feelings, to show the world how not okay you are. Sonali’s little brother, Ronak, is not taking the news well, constantly crying. The truth is, Sonali’s parents don’t get along, and it looks like they might be separating.

Bollywood takes over in this “effervescent” ( Booklist) and magical middle grade novel about an Indian American girl whose world turns upside down when she involuntarily starts bursting into glamorous song-and-dance routines during everyday life. ![]() ![]() ![]() 'Anyone looking for the most readable survey of the history of art from the cave paintings to the 20th century should buy the new, beautifully produced pocket edition of The Story of Art, still one of the great classics of art criticism.' - IndependentĪ cornerstone of art history - in a compact yet readable format and with a new preface by the author's granddaughter Aircraft & Spacecraft: General Interest.Ships, Boats & Waterways: General Interest.Road & Motor Vehicles: General Interest.Fishing, Field Sports & Outdoor Activities.Sports Studies & PE: Textbooks & Study Guides. ![]() Literary Studies: Textbooks & Study Guides.Anthologies, Essays, Letters & Miscellaneous.Inventions & Technology: General Interest.Environment & Ecology: General Interest.Popular Culture & Media: General Interest.Politics & Government: Textbooks & Study Guides. ![]() ![]() ![]() I just wanted it to feel like a more natural part of the narrative. Don’t get me wrong- I wasn’t expecting Elma to suddenly forget all her ingrained prejudices, Miltown to solve all her anxiety problems, etc. The dialogue delivered, the actions taken, the entire chapter just immediately took me out of the sweep-you-away narrative I was expecting. There is an odd scene at the beginning of The Fated Sky that felt VERY forced to me. It was all done naturally and woven into the story in a way that felt effortless. ![]() Women fighting for equality in the workplace, Elma’s battle with anxiety, etc. One of the things I loved about The Calculating Stars, was how authentic it all felt to the time period. ![]() (I mean there is, but not one that’s preventing her from getting on the Mars ship.) There wasn’t any kind of intense battle for women’s equality. Having already read The Lady Astronaut of Mars, the ending was kind of a foregone conclusion.
