From the reviews:
"Its many artful...selections...will offer satisfactions and revelations to readers of all ages." - Michael Cart, Booklist
"I can speak from experience that these
works can motivate and inspire students to see literature in personal,
interesting, and fun ways. Elise Juska's 'Northeast Pilly Girls,' Jacqueline W.
Brown's 'Willie,' Paula Whyman's 'Driver's Education,' and Jan Ellison's 'The Color of Wheat in Winter' are a permanent part of our curriculum. These beautifully crafted and moving stories
speak volumes to my students year after year….The Writes of Passage should be a
required anthology for all high school students. The stories inside this
precious book will get teachers and students thinking, speaking, and
feeling."—Alfonso S. Albergaria Jr. (English teacher, The Young Women’s Leadership School,
Harlem, NY)
