Mom, the Wolf Man and Me

Norma Klein

Buy "Mom, the Wolf Man and Me (Piper)" on Amazon

Judy Blume apparently loves this book and it's not difficult to see why. This is her own territory with the individual voice of Brett giving us her perspective on home, school, growing up and life with Mom and the boyfriend -- the Wolf Man (after his wolf-like dog). The attempt to be engagingly direct and comforting is mostly successful and the child-perspective can be thoughtful and humorous. It's the kind of book to help promote understanding and a sharing of growing up but it's one of many now and it doesn't stand out sharply from the rest.
