by Mitali Perkins
CMSW, paperback, 257 pages
Jazz (Jasmine) is falling in love with her friend and business partner, Steve. Her mom wants the family to spend the summer in India, working at an orphanage.
I enjoyed this book more than I expected. Jasmine was an interesting character (though I wish she would have worked up the courage to tell Steve about her feelings for him a little earlier) and it was nice to see how she changed her stance on helping others.
A little bit of romance and a lot of soul-searching, Perkins shows the remarkable differences between America and India without it seeming forced.
