Editorial Reviews

Review

I'm working on a Masters of Library and Information Science at Louisiana State University, and I recently included Stephanie Esterline's book in an assignment for a Young Adult Literature Class. This book was really amazing- does she know that? What a great example of a technical manual. I found it on Amazon.com! I'm attachign the annotated bibliography I wrote for it, and when I become a high school librarian, I am making sure that there is a copy of this book in my library. --Celeste Porche
