Cuba 15 by Nancy Osa is a humorous, warm about a Hispanic-American teen's somewhat
reluctant preparations for her quinceanero at age 15. Her strength and ingenuity
make the celebration a memorable one. Ties That Bind, Ties That Break by Lensey
Namioka is the story of an early-twentieth-century Chinese girl whose refusal to
have her feet bound is supported by her father. As Ailin grows to womanhood, her
independence and strength enable her to overcome obstacles placed by her society
and make her way to America and a new life. Basya Karp, LibrarianShulamith High

LM_NETTERS,> Our English department head is looking for a book for incoming
freshmen to read. She wants a strong female protagonist, but not based on surviving
a traumatic crisis such as in _The Lovely Bones_ or _Speak._ Please keep in mind
that Holy Cross is a Catholic school. We tried to assign _Looking for Alaska_ last
year, but parents objected. I'll post a hit. Mary> Mary Huebscher, Librarian> Holy
