From School Library Journal:

Gr 7 Up--Selections that cover the continents for 23 male and 21 female solo performers. Unfortunately, the authors have neglected not only to index the entries, but, in several cases, even to identify the characters' ethnic heritage. The monologues, while quite good, are copyrighted and, in many instances, subject to royalties. This carelessly tossed-together offering meets a need, but requires a hunt-and-peck method of finding an ethnic interest. The idea is great; the presentation is not.
