APPEALS TO: MANY

A young girl living in Mubai dreams of becoming a Bollywood movie director. She loves the music, the adventure, and the stories that can be told. On her way to see a movie with her family, her imagination goes wild as she pictures whatever she sees turning into her own movie. After enjoying the film, she is inspired and knows that she can too can create her own story. 

I like Dwivedi's story because it teaches you about life in Mubai and what Bollywood movies are. The illustrations have soft lines and the pages are framed like a movie film reel. It shows a young protagonist who has a great imagination. The young girl lives in Mubai.
