Call Me Rhonda
Ten-year-old Rhonda realizes how she feels about herself is more important than her name. Tormented by the song “Help Me Rhonda” and feeling cursed by an unusual name, she changes it and feels more popular. When she learns her name came from her father’s favorite aunt, she changes her name back to Rhonda. Inspired by song that haunts her, she begins a school newspaper advice column. The column provides the opportunity for a series for illustrating constructive solutions to issues that worry children.
The book also explores the meaning and origins of names in a lively multi-cultural dialogue. Because the topic will spark the reader’s interest in their own name it includes an appendix with instructions and references for researching names on the Internet. This short chapter book is written for young readers
