Veronica Ganz: 6 (A Puffin Novel)1 review
Marilyn Sachs

Puffin, 1995

Cool book!

I read this as an insecure fourth grader. Like Veronica, I was clumsy and bigger than everyone else, so I was teased a lot. I admired Veronica and the way she never let anyone push her around.

John R. Powers

Loyola Press, 2005

Not everyone understands . . . .

Several of my friends, self-proclaimed "victims" of the Chicago Catholic School system, greatly ...
