People all over India get together to celebrate a special day: Dewali. This day is very important to Hindus. It is a day that celebrates the fact that good will always come out over evil. It also marks a new business year in India. People make as much noise as possible, and eat lots of sweets. Diwali is a very important day in
India!
This book was pretty good. It wasn't as interesting, because it is not an action or adventure book. At the same time, though, I am Hindu and that made the book a little more interesting. It did a good job of describing events and what happened, making it a little more interesting. This was overall a pretty good book.
