Mrs. Estronsky and the U.F.O.

This book touched me. As an adult whose parents divorced when I was about the same age as Jackie, it took me back and allowed me to feel along with Jackie what I couldn't then. This is a must read for girls stuggling in adolesence and for women who have been there. It is exceptionally well written, easy to read and enjoyable. I highly recommend it to read and pass along.

Excellent Adolescent Book - Parent even enjoyed it

Mrs. E is a deceptively simple and thoroughly engaging book. It is a well-written, interesting story that balances lighthearted and funny moments with meaningful family themes about single parenting, sibling relationships, the impact of divorce on adolescents and teens, and the life-changing potential of the teacher-student relationship. An inspiring, hopeful must-read for adolescent girls.

Best young adult book in a long time!!

fantastic and fun. share this with the young and young at heart!!!

Great, intelligent book for young adults!

This is a wonderful, engaging book that my 14 year old son (who fancies himself very cool) thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend it -- funny, warm, compassionate.
