Levenkron's The Best Little Girl in the World (1978), Ivy Ruckman's Hunger Scream, and Lori Gottlieb's Stick Figure (2000) are all far more compelling. John Lennon: All I Want is the Truth and Marching for Freedom: Walk. Some girls like to read everything they can about the subject, but it's been done better. Award-winning author Elizabeth Partridge leads you straight into the chaotic. Interesting, and popular with the seventh grade girls, is Morgan Menzies' Diary of An Anorexic Girl (2003).

Side bars describe various aspects, such as "What is a stock split", and period photos, cartoons and advertisements add to the interest. Karen Blumenthal's Six Days in October: The Stock Market Crash of 1929 (2002) was quite exquistite and very informative. Not only that, but quoting a bawdy passage of Chaucer was just not necessary, so it seems to be done for effect. However, there is no constraint when quoting foul language, or in describing some of the situations. A gorgeous and well researched photo biography, it gives a lot of background information not aimed at adults who grew up with The Beatles. I was disappointed with Elizabeth Partridge's John Lennon: All I want is the truth (2005).
