Stella Bellarosa is a comical coming of age story set in 1960's Little Italy, New York.  The story follows 2 friends, Stella and Pin Pin.  Even though their backgrounds are vastly different, they face the same teenage dilemmas: peer pressure, struggles fitting in and of course, parents who don't quite understand.The story is endearing and the characters are well-developed.  As was the case with my 11 year old daughter, the story is perfect for a tweener.  It's light-hearted and was easy for her to relate to.  Give the title a try.  You'll be glad you did.
