Book Description
for The Girl-Son by Anne E. Neuberger
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Induk Pak was born in Korea in 1896, at a time when education was a priority for boys only. Thankfully, Induk's remarkable mother, Onyu, had little use for aspects of tradition that would prevent her and her daughter from leading independent lives. Wisconsin-born author Anne Neuberger brings Induk's fascinating story to life in a compelling biographical novel based largely on Induk's own writings, previously published as books for adults. Neuberger skillfully translates Induk's story into engaging fiction for children. (Ages 10-14)
