Rebecca and Ana (American Girls #2)

Synopsis

Rebecca can't wait to meet her cousin Ana. She's sure they'll be just like sisters. It's crowded with two families in one small apartment, but Rebecca is happy to share everything with Ana -- even her clothes!

At school, Rebecca is determined to help her cousin learn English, despite the other kids' teasing. But when the teacher tells her to include Ana in a special performance, Rebecca panics. Ana's broken English will ruin the show!

Rebecca realizes that the performance is one thing she does not want to share with her cousin. How can she explain this to Ana? Rebecca and Ana is the second in a series of beautifully illustrated books about growing up in New York City in 1914.

Rebecca and Ana is a children's book for children eight and up but adults can enjoy and learn something valuable from it as well. Rebecca and Ana is part of the Rebecca's six-book series. Each story in the series reveals more about Rebecca, a lively Jewish girl, who grows up in 1914 in New York. The books in the Rebecca series include: Meet Rebecca, Rebecca and Ana, Candlelight for Rebecca, Rebecca and the Movies, Rebecca to the Rescue, and Changes for Rebecca. Every book of the series not only features a fictional, realistic story and illustrations, but also has a historical "Looking Back" section. In this "Looking Back" section, the author describes some of the historical characteristics of Rebecca's 1914 time period in a style which children can understand and adults can appreciate.
