I Should Worry, I Should Care

About the 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."
