That Thing about Bollywood by Supriya Kelkar
5.0
Supriya Kelkar has created such a fascinating and unique magical world, in which 11-year-old Sonali wakes up one day to find all her hard-suppressed feelings have transformed her world into a Bollywood movie. She couldn't hide her true emotions, even if she wanted to!
This story is a beautiful, humorous exploration of the importance of processing your feelings with others and reaching out for help from your support network. The topic of divorce and family difficulty is handled with equal parts brutal honesty and tender empathy, in a way that's relevant and deeply accessible to young readers. I was rooting for Sonali all the way through! This book is a unique treasure on any family or classroom bookshelf, and I'm so excited to read the author's next book!
