A Time For Dancing; believe it or not is a great book. Great dialogue, interesting plot, and oh my, the resolution is spectacular.First there were two girls, Sam and Jules, which are completely inseparable. Then a terrible disease spread through her immune system shredding it to pieces and ruining her life. Poor Jules was a victim of cancer. At the beginning it was a horrific pain in her hip that would not go away and continued to get worse, until the terrible day that she passed away The day that the whole mess started she and Sam were in dance class. She had a terrible pain but all the doctors that she and her family had gone to so far could not diagnose anything because they just couldn't seem to find anything wrong with her hip, not even any muscle or nerve damage. The doctors didn't even think about testing her for any diseases like cancer. Nobody was aware of the fact that she had cancer until she was seen by Dr. Conner. She remained to be seen by her as for she was the one who did all of the testing anyway, and she knew her the best also. Dr. Conner assisted Jules through her chemo sessions. The only problem with the chemotherapy was that the poison they were injecting her with made her extremely exhausted. She found herself avoiding all of her friends, she even stayed away from Sam, and that was her best friend! A Time for Dancing is the story of the ways cancer ruined an innocent young girl's life and the damage that it also did to all of her family and friends. It makes real clear the way that rumors and stories get spread in school, and even outside of school. It makes even more clear the way that people act when they hear those rumors and feel sorry for you. People that Jules did not even know would walk up to her and start talking to her like they had known her, and been best friends for years. But at the same time, you can tell who your real friends are; they will care about you even when you have forgotten about them. Now that is how Jules and Sam were. They were each others "one and only" and that would never change. Do you like emotional books; the kind that really gets you hooked like you are the person in the book? Well, I have got to tell you this is absolutely the book for you. It really gets you reading and you won't be able to put the book down...it is so realistic that it is scary!
