Whew, It's Been A While..

Has it been four months, already? Wow. It's weird, because it seems I have so much to do it in the summer, but at the same time I have nothing to do.

So, anyway, I promise to post more later.

Shiva's Fire

O.M.G. IT HAS BEEN SOO LONG!! So anyway todays review will be of a book called:

Shiva's Fire

By Suzanne Fisher Staples

Shiva's Fire is the extraordinary story of Parvati, a young girl born in the small village of Anandangar in South India. On the day of her birth many tragic events occur. A terrible storm hits the small village on the first day of the monsoon season, leaving half the village in ruins. Parvati's father is trampled by a frightened herd of elephants. Parvati, her mother and her two brothers had to live with her father's brother and his family. Although there are many near disasters, Parvati's life is cheerful.
One day a Guru comes to the village and Parvati to learn Bharata natyam at his Gurukulam in Madras. Parvati is honored and joins him at the gurukulam. There she learns that she was born to dance. Though it involves very strict training and separation from her loving family, the gurukulam becomes Parvati's second home. When Parvati goes to the King's palace, she meets a gentle-eyed boy who charms and mystifies her. There, Parvati must make one the most decisions in her life between whether or not she should truly live her life, and or spend it dancing.

I give it 9\10
