My Horrible Cousins

and other stories

by Goldie Alexander

A collection of eleven short stories of particular interest to girl readers aged 9–13, with accompanying notes for teachers.

Features

• Particularly timely, as it balances the recent interest given to encouraging boys to read, at the risk of neglecting writing for girls.
• Features girls as the main characters — girls who are strong and resourceful, girls overcoming adversity, solving problems, being determined, being passionate about causes.
• The stories are diverse: written in first person/third person, with real characters and varied settings.
• Download the Teachers' Notes, which provide background information, activities and worksheets for making the most effective use of the stories in the classroom.
