From the author of Rickshaw Girl and You Bring the Distant Near, a National Book Award Longlist title, comes a story about the magic of Indiaās monsoon seasonāāmonsoon madnessāāand all the change it brings to a teenage girl and her family.
Jasmine āJazzā Gardner heads off to India during the monsoon season. The family trip is her motherās doing: Mrs. Gardner wants to volunteer at the orphanage that cared for her when she was young. But going to India isnāt Jazzās idea of a great summer vacation. She wants no part of her motherās do-gooder endeavors.
Whatās more, Jazz is heartsick. Sheās leaving the business she and her best friend, Steve Morales, startedāas well as Steve himself. Jazz is crazy in love with the guy.
Only when Jazz befriends Danita, a girl from the orphanage who cooks for her family and faces a tough dilemma, does Jazz begin to see how she can make a differenceāto her own family, to Danita, to the children at the orphanage, and even to Steve.
As India claims Jazz, the monsoon works its madness and magic.
