Heart & Soul By Liz Rosenberg	Moving through her days like a vapor, seventeen-year-old Willie Steinberg sees the world in shades of blue. Her father is away from home more than ever, and her mother drinks a lot. Even Willie's beloved music--Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin--holds no joy. Nothing seems to penetrate the dull feeling of malaise. Willie can't manage to shake off. Nothing, that is except Malachi Gelb. He has no manners, and homely is too mild a word to describe him. Malachi is everthing Willie despises--but he may be the only true friend she has. Description from Publisher The consummate self-conscious outsider, Willie is having an identity crisis that has plummeted her into depression. Neither parent is much help: her dad is never home, and her mother seems barely able to take care of herself. It is only when Willie reluctantly becomes involved in helping prickly, troubled Malachi, a Jewish schoolmate with a chip on his shoulder, that she is able to see a clear path for herself. The first-person narrative, by turns vague and inspired, plunges readers into Willie's melancholy and confusion, but it's really Malachi who is the novel's strongest character. He is as much (perhaps even more) an outsider as Willie, and his prickly personality makes for some explosive scenes. This is an ambitious book, with many themes vying for attention--parent-child relationships, divorce, religious and class prejudice, self-esteem. But because most of them remain only partly developed, it will be patient readers who will be this novel's best audience. Description from Booklist I was afraid this was going to be yet another Problem Novel. No way. Instead, I'm not sure what to call it (the best books are like that), but I'm certainly glad I followed Willie around through her dark days and bright nights, to an oddly beautiful ending, if not resolution. Description from The New York Times Book Review

Sources for all of the coins, which are aptly illustrated, are appended. A delightful and unusual book. Description from School Library Journal
