(4) 4-6 Roxanne, who wants to be an all-American girl, wishes her Israeli American family was more like the Brady Bunch. New neighbor Liat teaches Roxanne to have self-confidence and be proud of her heritage. Readers might not recognize the copious (and increasingly tedious) seventies and eighties references, but Roxanne's angst about growing up and her desire to fit in are timeless.
Reviewer: Rachel L. Smith
