Edith learns who she is and who she wants to be

Review by Rebecca

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.

Review by PjlibraryLulu

If you don't like sad books, this isn't the right one for you but if you're into them it's a no brainer. The book is about a girl named Edith and all her struggles. I definitely recommend.

Really sweet and quick read

Review by elicht

The book is really sweet and wholesome, and overall tugs at ones heartstrings. It's a poetry book, so it's easier to finish rather quickly, if you have deadlines. Also easier to read in a packed schedule, and you still get the whole message.
