I really enjoyed reading Sing if you can’t dance, and found it very fast paced. I really enjoyed learning about Ven’s struggles as it made me think deeper into how hard it can be for people with disabilities to endure everyday life. The structure of the book is very effective, as at the being of the book Keely has a tragic experience which creates curiosity in how she is going to resolve it and what has happened to her. I love Ven’s character as she is very resilient and doesn’t want to give up on her dreams even though she is faced with challenges. Overall I loved reading this book and would recommend it to others.
