Sophie Stein, aged 13, falls in love, outgrows the boy, searches for her Mr Right-and-a-half and finds him where she least thought to look. So truthful, so touching, this sequence of poems shows Sonya Sones' remarkable gift of empathy for her characters and builds up to a narrative that has you on the edge of your seat. This is an irresistible book that simply says everything about first love and will have an enormously wide appeal. 'Even in the severe limitations that the modern young impose upon their language, Sonya Sones finds poetry - the poetry of First Things. In WHAT MY MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW, the poet sweeps lyrically through the door she opened in STOP PRETENDING. Hers is a voice that the literature of the young has been waiting for' Richard Peck, 2000 Newbery Award winner

Seller's Description:
Very good. A well-cared-for item that has seen limited use but remains in great condition. The item is complete, unmarked, and undamaged, but may show some limited signs of wear. Item works perfectly. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine is undamaged.
I bought this at a book fair when I was a substitute teacher. It was delightful. I like that it is a series of poems that tell a story and that can each stand alone. It?s a great way to get into the mind of the protagonist, having us read her poetry journal. It?s also a great depiction of the emotions of an adolescent girl. Young girls who read this may be able to learn from Sophie?s mistakes without making the same ones themselves, but it?s not a heavy-handed cautionary tale; they can also learn from her good choices. For that matter, so can older girls and so can boys.
