YA. The 18 varied and entertaining stories and one poem contained in this anthology touch on the role of motherhood or the relationship between offspring and mothers in one way or another. Some of the pieces are funny, some frivolous, some lyrical, some mysterious. Many take place in the future or in another dimension. The "mother" may be a computer, a human, an animal, or even an alien. In most selections, the perspective is from a female character's point of view. Most of the mothers portrayed are caricatures: controlling, guilt-dispensing, superficial, or preoccupied with physical appearances and needs. But about a third of the stories challenge gender and/or age stereotypes by presenting more multidimensional maternal characters. An intriguing and often fun collection.?Lorna Kundert, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
