Shiva's Fire (***)

This book is about a girl named Parvati who has a gift to dance. Right when she was born a terrible storm broke out and the sky turned green. Then it turned into a cyclone and roused the elephants who broke free from their chains and trampled Parvati's father killing him. the cyclone ruined their house and many many others. It killed people, chickens, water buffalo, dogs, elephants, monkeys, birds and many other innocent creatures. When she was eight she went to the river with a basket of laundry and was found surrounded by many, many types of animals, fish, and birds. when she was ten she danced in fire until her mother saw, her and pulled her out. To her mother's surprise she wasn't bunt at all. She could talk to animals.
and she remembered her whole life, since the day she was born. This book takes place in India.

This book was 270 pages long. I gave this book three out of five stars (***.)
