The Girls

It sticks with you...
I read this book when I was 11 years old. I am now 18 and remember it to this day. This is an extremely powerful book that I would recommend to any middle school girl. Middle school is a very difficult time for girls socially and this book acts like a mirror. Whatever ...

Good writers can offer facts and poetry without nonsense!
Each of Amy Koss's poems quickly catches the young reader's attention: Would clouds feel fluffy,/ Soft and grand,/ If I could touch them/ With my hand? Her "emphasis on end rhyme" provides the kind of gentle draw into poetry that children need. My children clearly ...

Wonderful Book!
I have read this book twice already and I must say that is is as delightful to read it the first time as it is the second. Kailey loves the ocean whether she's spying on tide-pool creatures or splas-crashing though waves on her boogie board,there's no place ...

Melons for the Passionate Grower
Amy Goldman
Artisan, 2002
JUICY!
I'm a watermelon lover. I was drawn to the book by the cover photograph which teased of more melons to come. Each page is a feast for the eye and the palette. The photographs jump off the page. The writing conveys each melons' individual personality. I want to know ...

How I Saved Hanukkah
Amy Goldman Koss
Puffin, 2000
Writing Witty Enough For An Adult
I found this story to be witty and full of humor. The story of Marla practically mimicked my life in a small town with no other Jews. The unknown holiday I celebrated and the massive overly merchandised holiday of my neighbors and friends was exactly what I felt. ...
