Looking For Me is an outstanding book of poetry. It tells what it means to BE someone, as in finding an identity. And Edith (the narrator) has it hardest of all. She's fourth in a family of twelve children!

this book is based on a real girls life and is written by the daughter of the main character. it is almost all poems except the end which is full of pictures of Edith and her family. i thought this book was easier to read than some other books cause it's all poems

I liked how the book was about a large jewish family.

Review by Rebecca, age 10, CA Looking For Me... in this great big family is a good book for kids about nine years old. It is about a girl named Edith who is one of 12 kids in a Jewish family in Depression-era Baltimore. Edith is struggling to find her place in the world among her brothers and sisters. She has to go through a lot of hard times before she can figure it out. Slowly but surely, she learns who she is and who she wants to be. This book is fairly short and focuses on small details a lot of the time.
