Once upon a Heroine: 450 Books for Girls to Love

With six daughters between them, the authors (former publishing executives) recognize girls' need to imagine themselves as the heroine of their own lives and the stories they read. Organized by age group, and based on recommendations by teachers, librarians, and reviews, this guidebook also contains favorite book selections by real heroines (e.g. Gloria Steinem and Oprah Winfrey). Readers can suggest additions for the next edition via e-mail. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
