M. Jerry Weiss and Helen S. Weiss live in Upper Montclair, New Jersey. They are life long educators and the compilers of numerous anthologies.
Grade 8 Up—From the first story, Gordon Korman's "Wimp of Sparta," to the last, Walter Dean Myers's "Midnight Bus to Georgia," this compilation is sure to find a wide audience. Characters such as boy farmer Avery Alexander, who is ordered to dress in a mauve Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit for his sister's wedding in Nancy Springer's "The Most Mauve There Is," and Grandpa Lee in Myers's tale of a family of cons who are trying to get Grandpa out of trouble and out of New York, will generate hearty laughter. Other tales, such as Sharon Dennis Wyeth's "Another Chance," pull at the heartstrings more than hit the funny bone. And the poems in Mel Glenn's "American Teen" showcase readers' similarities across lines of gender and geography. But all of the stories deal with family in their loving, and sometimes not-so-loving, insanity. This book will be devoured by reluctant and avid readers alike.—Heather E. Miller, Homewood Public Library, AL END
