Miss O and Friends Write On! The Miss O & Friends Collection of Rockin' Fiction
Hermine Brindak, illustrator
The book is dedicated "For all the girls out there who love to imagine, create, and write!" What a great idea! Girls visit the website (www.missandfriends.com) to submit poems and short fiction. The winners are published. The collection includes stories about friendships, growing pains, and family concerns. Sometimes writing ideas are right under your nose and sometimes you find them in poems "at the edge of the universe."
Opinion:
This book is a nice addition to a middle school writing program. Teachers could use suggestions for submission for lesson plans on writing. These short stories and poems told by middle schoolers are sure to appeal to girls, their teachers and parents. Hermine Brindak's illustrations are great. This is very nice book of children's writing.
