Reviews
"This powerful, moving collection offers a stunning reminder of how deeply young people are marked by books-how words can print themselves directly onto our hearts, as indelible as any tattoo. Bookmarked makes me think gratefully about the books that shaped me as a teen, and renews my sense of profound responsibility as a writer for people of all ages. Ann Camacho's dedication to her students and the written word will inspire teachers to add more literature to their curricula and teens to pick up more books-and, as a result, lives will be changed."-Gayle Brandeis, author of My Life with the Lincolns and the Bellwether Prizewinning The Book of Dead Birds , "Perfect for students about to journey into the college application world or, perhaps, someone who yearns for a philosophical or psychological journey."-Anika T., age 17, for Fred: The Magazine for Young Mensans, "The stories are so raw and honest you feel like you are sitting with these teens at a coffee shop, engrossed in their storytelling."-Louise Sattler, school psychologist, contributor to Education.com, "As a teacher, it's difficult to teach students how to recognize an author's voice, let alone teach them how to develop their own. Bookmarked captures the essence of the young writer's voice. The student writing is insightful, sophisticated, and inspiring. Through their writing, we see how literary works are much more than stories; they are the bridges that help form connections to the world around us."-Jonathan LeMaster, English teacher at El Cajon Valley High School, literacy consultant and cofounder of LiteracyTA.com, "This powerful, moving collection offers a stunning reminder of how deeply young people are marked by books--how words can print themselves directly onto our hearts, as indelible as any tattoo.

The contributions are divided into five sections dealing, respectively, with beliefs and ideals; family, friends, and love; hard times and hope; identity and self; and dreams and the future. Each section concludes with questions designed to spur reflection, discussion, and writing. The book itself concludes with a guide for educators on using the book with students.
