A write-right-in-it book to share with your friends. A Canadian Toy Testing Council 3-Star Award winner! A while back, we published a little book called It''s All About Me, a collection of personality quizzes for girls. Clearly we hit a sweet spot because today, half a million copies later, that book is still going strong. And now it''s getting a new best friend. It''s All About Us is a journal of super-nosey surveys for girls to fill out right in the book. Subjects range from food to fashion to friendship to the very tween "total randomosity." More than 300 different questions reveal everything you never thought to ask yourself, let alone anyone else. Since everything is better when you share, each survey is repeated three times, in three different colorways. Once you''ve taken a survey, turn the page and pass the journal and its matching pen to a friend. Or a relative. Or a brand-new acquaintance. Basically, anyone willing to share just a little too much information. Then compare results. The beauty of it is, even if the answers are different, everyone will still be right. Especially you. Previously published as What About You?

"Russell Danby''s original sketches for the Timeline Fence are reproduced in this book, along with the murals as completed by the community under Russell''s direction. The first ten sketches are those used to create the Fence. The final sketch, ''Fighting the Fires'', was drawn by Russell but not used for the Timeline Fence. Paula Herlihy has adapted Karen Phillips'' text for community members with lower reading levels." --p. 3.

"A crash site memorial for a daughter is disturbed by road workers, a son goes missing after an earthquake, a husband struggles with his wife going into dementia care, grandparents meet-up with a grandchild they lost contact with when his parents divorced, a late-in-life relationship is broken apart when his health declines, a couple who lease out their basement flat discover a former tenant has been linked to a murder ...Each of Karen Phillips’ stories is like the glass houses in the title story – small pieces, some opaque and some translucent, that offer glimpses of ordinary families whose lives are coming apart, sometimes in ways imperceptible to the outside eye. Memories of a kinder past are one way to pull things back together and simple humanity is another, but sometimes the answer is where you least expect it."--Publisher information.
