A Time for Dancing

Read this book years ago. My daughter talked about wanting to read it. I got it for her. She LOVED it. So glad I ordered

“A time for dancing” was the first book I read as a teenager that really stuck with me. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and more importantly, it made me think. I was so excited that my daughter turned 13 so I could share this book with her. She read it so fast, couldn’t put it down, and was in tears near the end but told me how much she loved it. I can’t recommend this book enough, it’s very clean by today’s standards, But is also real enough that teenagers feel like they can connect with it. Perfect book for a young teenage girl.

I read this in 7th grade and it made a huge impact on me. It's been over 17 years since I read it but I still remember how much it meant to me. I can't wait to reread it.

I bought this book for my 14 year old, because she loves dancing and she heard about it and wanted it. I picked it up to have a look and I just cried straight through the last 2/3 of the book. I had to skim some of it (it is a teenage read), but it's really quite good. There's a nice play back and forth between best friends: one lovely girl with cancer, and another equally lovely girl without cancer. The first has a very creditable relationship with her mother and family (a big part of the cry) and the other has an absolutely awful mother and an absent father. Both of their lives trickle down the drain pretty realistically during a relentless year of chemotherapy. Altogether well done - though I didn't appreciate the insensitive woman doctor - no pediatric cancer doctor could possibly be that hard-edged.I think of my daughter sitting in her big chair and reading this book in one sitting, thinking about her own friends, and dancing, and trying to figure out what cancer is and why people die, and crying. Of course, she's a girl, and she'll really love it. Big recommendation to all the soft-hearted teenage girls out there.

Just wanted to bring back childhood memories of this book to inspire my own stories today.

I read this book a good 15 years ago when I was in school. I loved this book then (even though it made me cry) and I still find it just as captivating today as I did back then. There is a bit of foul language in it as a warning.

Saw the movie before I actually read the book I love the book more now. Jules and Sam relationship is amazing and how they cope when one of them gets sick. They still go through the ups and downs or being a teenage girl.

This was one of the most realistic looks at the raw emotion surrounding a child with terminal illness that I've read. I loved that we got to see the decline of a lovable character both through her eyes and her best friend's.
