On Her Way: Stories and Poems about Growing Up Girl

(4) 4-6 Although it contains a clunker or two, this generally sturdy collection takes on everything from being the new kid to losing a parent to emigrating to defying gender norms. Protagonists differ widely in terms of race, family configuration, socioeconomic status, and time in history. Bonus: photos of the authors as girls (between ages nine and thirteen) appear with their contributors' notes.
