I just read Girls of Tender Age by Mary-Ann Tirone Smith. I have not read a memoir this funny and this poignant since Angela's Ashes. I figure those in Hartford, Conn. would really like to read this since Hooker Elementary is featured prominently in the book. I wouldn't bring this up to the whole list, but I just got to the end last night where a whole scene was described over several pages that takes place in a library. Not only will this book make you laugh out loud and cry as well, librarians will love the ending. Perfect for our particularly avid young adult readers as they will love the true crime story interwoven into this coming-of-age story. A real page turner. _________________________ Patricia Sarles, MA, MLS Passages Academy Libraries 941 Rev. James A.
