Kid Critic Yoav S. says, "How would you feel if your mother abandoned you, your sisters, and your father? Delphine's mother has done just that. When Delphine and her sisters visit her in Oakland, California, their mother refuses to spend time with them. How will Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern manage to be with a mother who doesn't want them? If you like reading books about lost relatives, black revolutionary groups, and a bit of poetry, I suggest this book. I enjoyed this book a lot." Reviewer age 9.

The Red Umbrella is an excellent story about the Cuban-American experience of a young teen and her family in the period just after the Cuban revolution. Its value is historical, its appeal is universal, and the story is remarkable. Reading the struggles of Lucia and her family is as vivid as if Gonzalez has drawn this experience rather than written it. Recommended for ages 10-14 and educators.

In a literary landscape awash with paranormal young adult books, Claire de Lune is exceptional. With a feminist take on the lives and culture of werewolves, Johnson has created a contemporary and believable world for her protagonist's internal drama. Here you've got all the elements of a great teen read (including self-discovery) with the in-demand paranormal twist craved by today's teen readers. Best for ages 12 & up.
