New Releases by Norma Fox Mazer

A collection of stories, articles, plays, and poems which show many kinds of courage.

Vicky mag, als winnaar van een krantenwedstrijd, met drie andere prijswinnaars acht weken in een krantenbedrijf meelopen. Een artikel over belastende feiten voor een ''collega'' roept grote weerstand op bij de anderen.

Landing a prestigious summer internship on a Pulitzer Prizewinning newspaper seems ideal for Chris, who''s glad to be taken seriously as a writer and to get away from his blue-collar father''s expectations. For Vicki, it''s a chance to grow up, shine in the big time, and maybe even get a scholarship so she won''t end up stuck in a dead-end job like her mother. For Elizabeth, it means time to distance herself from the suffocating relationship she has with her boyfriend. For Faith, it''s a way to forget the past and try to be just a normal teenager. Weeks of work and play wear on their relationships: What do they expect of each other? What do they expect of themselves?

When a high school senior falls in love with the girl he is supposed to be fixing up with his best friend, the ensuing experiences profoundly change the relationships each has with the others.

When her father gives her a typewriter, eleven-year-old Trissy decides to record her daily thoughts and experiences.

Content with the dump where she lives with her uncle, a place where trash is treated with great dignity, Joyce considers the outside world cruel and hateful until she meets Mrs. Fish.

For as long as I can remember, It''s just been Daddy and me. I can''t remember my mother. I was told she died in an accident when I was four, and that''s all I know about her. I don''t understand why there isn''t even a picture of her. The other thing I don''t understand is why we''re always moving -- different towns -- with no explanations. I know something is wrong. It begins with my birth certificate-- my only link to my mother. Then I overhear a conversation: "Tell terri the truth ," Why are we moving all the time? Are we running away from something or someone? What kind of secret is Daddy hiding...and why can''t he share it with me.

Oompa en Joyce wonen in een huis bij de vuilnisbelt en daarom wordt ze door de andere kinderen op school erg geplaagd. Maar dan is daar opeens de gezellige Mevrouw Vis.
