Synopsis
Sophie Stein, aged 13, falls in love, outgrows the boy, searches for her Mr Right-and-a-half and finds him where she least thought to look. So truthful, so touching, this sequence of poems shows Sonya Sones' remarkable gift of empathy for her characters and builds up to a narrative that has you on the edge of your seat. This is an irresistible book that simply says everything about first love and will have an enormously wide appeal.
'Even in the severe limitations that the modern young impose upon their language, Sonya Sones finds poetry ¿ the poetry of First Things. In WHAT MY MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW, the poet sweeps lyrically through the door she opened in STOP PRETENDING. Hers is a voice that the literature of the young has been waiting for' Richard Peck, 2000 Newbery Award winner

From the Author
"People often talk about having an inner child, but I have an inner teenager. And like most teenagers, my inner teen is obsessed with sex. So she was very helpful when I was writing the poems for What My Mother Doesn't Know. One of the reasons it's so easy for me to get in touch with my inner teen, is that I've been keeping diaries and journals since I was old enough to be a cheerleader. And often, when I'm trying to remember what it was like in the bad old days, I leaf through them. And it's all there. Every miserable moment."
