![]() ![]() Her new cabin mate Isabel is decidedly different, outspoken, with rainbow hair, and Anna is forced to become more self-assertive. In The Isabel Factor (Kids Can, $19.95), Anna, as a camp counselor, must come out from the shadow of her fearless, best friend Zoe, who has broken her arm. But when Great Aunt Frieda comes to visit and tells Ben about life in Russia and how the men of stone, Stalin's agents, terrorized her family, he comes to understand the man he wants to be. Although he lives in a house full of women, he can't talk to a single girl. In her first book, Men of Stone (Kids Can, $16.95), Ben is ridiculed and bullied for taking ballet, and turned down by the co-ed volleyball team. Since then she has authored a series of young adult novels. Gayle Friesen of Delta, B.C., began writing young adult novels as an assignment in writing class at UBC. ![]()
