| I read excerpts of this book to my at-risk secondary students and they really enjoyed hearing about how to make their writing more full of life. It really brought the writing process to their level and helped them internalize the importance of writing. |

| My 4 year old daughter has requested this for her bedtime book for the last 7 nights (no exageration). I can certainly see why: Strong character identification; Plays on subtle tone of empathy, caring, gentleness; Nancy gives her brother's skinned knee such attentive T.L.C; A mother who praises such kindness; Those are just some of the themes. The visual appeal of this book could stand on it's own. It's outstanding: detailed, colorful, lots of sweet touches. If you are particularly drawn to "vintage" ... Read More: |

| I would give this book 3 1/2 stars. I found it good but not quite riveting. I loved the main character and her funny ways, for example sleeping in a dung heap to keep warm.

| 105.13: Thirteen Stories That Capture the Agony and Ecstasy of Being Thirteen from: Simon Pulse September 26, 2006 |

| My son is in 8th grade and never a big reader (which I am trying to change). This book appealled to him on two levels. First, the short story format was less "stressful" than having to commit to a full length book. Second, the variety of stories has something for everyone. Some stories he identified with personally and others he felt helped him understand someone his age with a different background. There was also a mix of humor and seriousness that he really enjoyed. We both reccommend this book heartily. |

Did you see her, did you see Big Mama. When these children arrived at their grand mothers house right away they were going to have a good time. The cool thing about this book is he rights another that tells you how they got home from the lake. This book is called Short Cut. I recommend this book to someone who just likes to have a good time. |

| If you are just wanting the story, don't get this version. This version has all of the analytical stuff in it. The print is very little, too. |
