[Wait for Me, Michael] is well toward the top of my list of Stolz books, for it has unity as well as subtlety, and the presentation of adolescent feeling is unusually deft. Anny's moments may be sweet, bitter, or bittersweet, but they are always touched with a flash of humor or common sense or intuition on the part of the heroine. Anny suffers but, underneath, she and her readers sense that this is a part of growing pains. For girls beyond girls' stories who ask for something true to life. (p. 285)
