Hardback. Zustand: Good. Here is a highly selective gathering of sixteen contemporary short stories about youth written by some of the world's best authors. Accessible to both young and old, the stories invite us to walk in another's world, to see and feel what it's like to live in another culture.There are stories from Ghana, Egypt, England, Ireland, Chile, Antigua, India, Australia, Italy, Norway, Germany, China, Japan, Indonesia, the United States, and Russia. Several involve situations brought about by unjust social or political systems (Inem by Pramoedya Ananta Toer, about an eight-year-old Indonesian servant girl sold into marriage, and The Composition by Antonio Skarmeta of Chile, in which a seemingly innocent essay assignment turns children into informers against their parents), but the majority center on everyday experiences -- going to school (French Lessons by Valentin Rasputin and Hands by Xiao Hong), friendships and play (Games at Twilight by Anita Desai), getting along with family (The Late Bud by Area Ata Aidoo, The Ladder by V. S. Pritchett, and The Jay by Yasunari Kawabata), and leaving home in search of a future (A Walk to the Jetty by Jamaica Kincaid). Other authors included are Toni Cade Bambara, Heinrich Boll, Italo Calvino, Elizabeth Jolley, Naguib Mahfouz, Frank O'Connor, and Cora Sandel.A literary collection to treasure, A Walk in My World makes a perfect gift for a young friend.…

Paperback. Zustand: Collectible-Very Good. From BooklistGr. 7-9. This sequel to Mazer's A Boy at War (2002) picks up after Adam, his mother, and his little sister have left Honolulu and moved to Bakersfield, California. Still under the shadow of his father's death at Pearl Harbor, Adam struggles to get his bearings. When his Japanese American friend, Davi, writes from Hawaii to ask Adam to find his father, whom the authorities have taken to California, Adam begins a quest that takes him to an internment camp. Written in first person, the novel chronicles the emotional confusion Adam feels as he looks for the right path and his satisfaction when he finds it. Although reading the previous book is not necessary, the scene in which Adam first sees Davi's father again as well as the many mentions of Adam's fatherwill resonate more powerfully for readers familiar with it. The book ends with a time line of the Pacific war in 1942, a discussion of the home front, and quotes from documents related to the Japanese internment. A satisfying coming-of-age story in a well-documented historical setting. Carolyn PhelanCopyright ? American Library Association.
