Shooting Star: A Novel About Annie Oakley / Sheila Solomon Klass / 176 pp.

This is a YA fictionalized first-person account of the childhood of Annie Oakley. This book resonated with me when I was younger, and I think would be a good read (both personal and read-aloud) for both young boys or girls as Annie's personality and spunk really comes through. It also has many universal themes like homesickness, bullying, friendships, and finding one's talents. While written at an easy reading level with a fast-moving plot, I felt the characters were developed and described well.
