A heartfelt contemporary story of a classical Indian dancer who will not let a prosthetic leg stop her from reclaiming the art form that has given her so much happiness.

“A beautiful integration of art, religion, compassion, and connection.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

When you are driven by passion, nothing can get in your way.

Veda is a prize-winning dancer, considered a prodigy in the fine art of traditional Indian Bharatanatyam. Then she is injured in a bus accident, and her right leg must be amputated below the knee. For a girl who’s grown used to receiving applause for her dance prowess, adjusting to a prosthetic leg is painful and humbling. Her dance teacher does not believe she will ever dance again.

But Veda is too passionate to abandon her dream and finds a new teacher who shares her hope. And though she must relearn even the most basic of steps, his faith in her allows her to reclaim the art form that has brought her so much joy.

Told through lyrical, evocative verse, this is a powerful novel of loss, recovery, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Reseñas de la crítica

“[A] powerful depiction of a teen girl struggling to recover from an accident.”The Chicago Tribune

“Set against a cardamom, melted butter, and semolina sojji-wafted landscape, the novel’s emotional expression and accompanying music impel the reader to share Veda’s belief that Shiva dances everywhere. In everyone. In everything.”Booklist, starred review

“A beautiful integration of art, religion, compassion and connection.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Told in verse, this story is magnificently strong as Veda’s determination dances off the page and into the reader’s heart.”—VOYA, starred review

“This exceptional novel, told entirely in verse, captures beautifully the emotions of a girl forced to deal with a number of challenges and how she overcomes them on her way to becoming a confident young woman. It is sure to appeal to readers who are also trying to find their place in the world.”School Library Journal, starred review

“Venkatraman has created a rich, exotic, and fully human world that dazzles and delights. Her way with prose reflects Veda's with dancing: 'Nothing else fills me with as much elation as chasing down soaring music' This novel accomplishes exactly that.”Providence Sunday Journal
