“In addition to Four Perfect Pebbles—the prolific Perl’s fiftieth book—many of her other works for children were renowned for having strong female characters. These include Dumb Like Me, Olivia Potts (Seabury, 1976); Don’t Ask Miranda (Clarion, 1978); and Marleen, The Horror Queen (Houghton Mifflin, 1985).”
