Assessment Containing Books A Time for Dancing (A Time for Dancing #1)

While this book was hard hitting in some aspects, it shows the real power and love of two best friends. It teaches young adults and even adults about real life struggles and how you persevere through it all. This book also touched me because Im a dancer and have been since age 3 so I can relate to the girls in this book. I recommend this book for an insight into how youth deals with struggles at such an early age. Its real life.

A Time for Dancing, by Davida Wills Hurwin, was selected as an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and I couldn�'t agree more with the ALA decision. Ballet is center stage for high school friends Julie and Samantha. They met in ballet class and have been best friends ever since. Until everything changes � changes due to cancer.[return][return]The book is written with a style that complements the content � every other chapter is told from the perspective of one of the two friends. In the beginning, it

If I could give this book more stars, I would.This book is amazing. By far one of the best books I have ever read.And I read a lot.This book is about two best friends and their battle when one is diagnosed with cancer.A MUST READ!!!!!

This was one of the greatest books i have ever read in my life. it had meaning to it. It wasn't just made up. This happens to real people. I cried at the end, and hoped like the characters that the ending would be different. I felt like I was the one who was dying and the one who had to watch. This book had emotion behind, and only a truely great author could write something like this. The story of Samantha and Julie, Sam and Jules, day and night, life and death, is one I won't soon forget. It

I feel bad rating this book so low. It's such a depressing subject, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I got teary towards the end. And really, Davida Wills Hurwin made the whole story quite believable. Jules didn't get better. But somehow, I just couldn't get into it. The writing lacked something for me. It didn't grab me like I hoped, and the plot moved slowly. Now, admittedly cancer can grow slowly and it takes a while to truly developed in most cases. But it wasn't until the last fifty or so

* 3.5 * I found this book at Goodwill and only paid 99¢ for it. The cover (which is different then the one shown here) drew me in. It's hard to really review a book about such real and heart wrenching things, the emotional toll it takes on you will sometimes cloud your judgment on the actual writing. While I do think it could have been more detailed because at times it felt like the author skimmed the top of the story... but other than that I definitely liked this book, it was short and easy

Deeply affecting story of love, best friendship, illness and heartbreak. I latched onto these two SO HARD that it felt like I was losing my own best friend - and I have some experience with that feeling, albeit not involving death, so it really struck a chord. It's also, to date, I think the best YA novel featuring cancer I've ever read.
