{"product_id":"bromley-girls-9780896729223","title":"Bromley Girls","description":"It's 1955 and fourteen-year-old Emily Winter's promising start at Bromley, a posh, academically-challenging Manhattan girls' school, threatens to turn sour when her new friend Phoebe Barrett joins an anti-Semitic club founded by the popular and snobby Cressida Whitcroft. But how can Emily stay angry with Phoebe, who shares Emily's fascination with knights and the Middle Ages, when Phoebe has put herself on a dangerously stringent diet and is sinking into an ever-deeper obsession with losing weight? In a story about the search for identity and the triumph of friendship over bigotry, Emily discovers a knack for leadership as she copes with Phoebe's snubs, a newborn brother, a know-it-all classmate addicted to true-love magazines, a whiz kid who thinks he's James Dean, a fifteen-year-old fencer with an intriguing scar, and a surprise assignment that brings everyone together and helps banish prejudice at Bromley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Mendelsohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Tech University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780896729223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartha Mendelsohn has worked as a translator for the French Embassy, an editorial assistant for Holt, Rinehart and Winston, and associate editor of Tikkun magazine.
