About the Author
Sandy Asher has written many novels and plays and has edited several collections of essays, including With All My Heart, With All My Mind: Thirteen Stories About Growing Up Jewish, winner of the National Jewish Book Award.
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8--This anthology celebrates growing up female as the protagonists tackle and embrace new experiences and changes in their lives. In a selection by Francess Lantz, readers meet Joanie Frankenhauser, who spends a day pretending to be a boy when the teacher at her new school mispronounces her name. Sheila Solomon Klass offers a delightful piece in which a young Annie Oakley convinces her mother to let her use her talents with a gun despite the fact that it is not ladylike. In June Rae Wood's "Flying Free," readers will empathize with Joretta, a girl recovering from polio, who is left with her aunt when her mother disappears and who wants to know the truth about where Mama is. In Sandy Asher's "The Secret behind the Stone," Lindsay tries to decide what to do when she learns that her new friend is being abused at home. Other contributors include Marion Dane Bauer, Patricia Calvert, Angela Johnson, Donna Jo Napoli, and Linda Sue Park. The stories and poems are entertaining and engrossing, presenting likable characters who learn valuable lessons on their journeys to womanhood.--Janet Hilbun, formerly at Sam Houston Middle School, Garland, TX
