Gypsy Rizka

Gypsy Rizka is on a journey in search of her father. As she wanders from town to town, she finds herself confronted with problems. Being a clever, resourceful girl, she creates a unique solution to each obstacle and succeeds in bringing harmony and resolution to each community. Along the way her abilities lend themselves to a bit of satire and great entertainment for us. You really like this girl and root for her as she meets each problem head on. This is the self-reliant young woman we would hope to be one day. Each chapter is a separate adventure and a separate challenge for her so the book reads as a series of stories with Rizka the link and the search for her father the tie that binds. This is a terrific read for girls who enjoy putting themselves in the shoes of a girl who does not falter and handles life with courage and a sense of her own capabilities. 202 pages Ages 8-13
