ALL MY NOBLE DREAMS AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS by Gloria Whelan. New York: Simon & Schuster Books, 2014. 255p. ISBN:978-1-4424-4976-3 hc. $15.99. Gr. 6-10 JUV This sequel to SMALL ACTS OF AMAZING COURAGE (2011) continues to follow the life of Rosalind James, torn between the world she lives in with her strict father, a major in the British Indian Army, and the wider world of India, where followers of Gandhi spread the message of peace and independence. When she gets the opportunity to meet the Prince of Wales, who is visiting the area, she must decide whether to speak up about the poverty and caste restrictions she sees in the streets of India, or stay loyal to the ruling British government. This book is engaging and gives readers a broader view of the world around them. Melissa Coyne, Volunteer, Munising School Public Library
