Lots of Love, Fulliem xoxoxo
In this story, Stacey's school has a series of "short takes" classes. Professionals offer to teach a class in their area of expertise for part of a marking period. Movie making was one such class and Stacey eagerly agreed to participate in that one. She is grouped with a compatible bunch of kids and, armed with camera and notebooks, learn a lot about how their class mates really feel. My favorite parts were Claudia's confession about her strong distate for school and Emily Black, the school editor's adept dodging of any discussion of herself. Turning the question around to the asker is a very effective dodge and I loved that part. I also liked seeing a more mature version of Mary-Anne.
This one is one that I think most readers will enjoy. Ms. Martin is truly gifted in creating something with a lot of staying power.
