5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book for your reluctant reader!, October 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: I Never Said I Wasn't Difficult (Paperback)
I originally bought this book to share with my sixth grade class of 11 and 12-year-olds. After the class had a chance to read the short poems, one of my students became attached to the book and re-read it several times, from front to back. This was my reluctant reader. He saw himself in many of the poems and at the end of the week I gave him the book to keep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sara captures adolescence, December 15, 2004
This review is from: I Never Said I Wasn't Difficult (Paperback)
I am an eighth grade English teacher, and have had copies of "I Never Said I Wasn't Difficult" in my classrooms for the last seven years. Students reach for it again and again, to laugh, to find sympathy, and to share with their friends. Sara is our class poet every year. She crosses gender lines so that boys and girls find a voice that speaks to them, and she gives us a place to find common ground in our discussions. I can't recommend this book-and her others-highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars My opinion of I Never Said I Wasn't Difficult, June 19, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: I Never Said I Wasn't Difficult (Paperback)
The poetry in the collection is real life of any American teenager. The poems depict the thoughts of teenagers and their outlook on everything from boring school to overreacting parents who spaz out when kids don't see things the way their parents do. I honestly thought my 16 year old daughter was talking to me!
