Author Julie Krantz's Stella Bellarosa is a funny take on 1960's Little Italy.  Stella, the product of a strict Catholic family and Pin Pin, an immigrant from China, couldn't be more different culturally.  A stolen wallet and an adventure to Manhattan for these best friends reminded me a lot of Thelma and Louise.  You'll find yourself chuckling throughout the story as the 2 adolescents face adversity, brush-ins with the law and growing pains that we all remember to well growing up.Krantz does a great job of developing the characters and keeping you turning the pages.  If you're hoping for an easy read that will tug on your heart strings, this story will be a winner for you.
