About This Book
***I Should Worry I Should Care is the first in a series of five novels for young readers that won critical acclaim and awards for Miriam Chaikin.*** All five books are about Molly and her family and friends in a Brooklyn neighborhood around the time of World War II. Molly and her friends play out their young girl interests against the background of those troubled times. **The ALA Booklist said, "There is lots of warmth here and plenty of color in Chaikin's evocation of an early l940s Brooklyn neighborhood".**
***Goodreads Member Sarah liked it & rated it 3 stars of 5/ April 12, 2008***
I liked this book as a child because of its historical context (set during World War II) and because I enjoyed learning about the main character's Jewish heritage. I also loved books that took place in New York City, they seemed so glamorous to me.*** The characters are a little flat and the plot is predictable but the book's other elements made it a worthwhile read for me.***
