Two of Wedekind's most seminal plays, "e;Earth Spirit"e; and "e;Pandora's Box"e; both focus on the actions of the young heroine Lulu, who embodies both animal sensuality and waif-like innocence, as she escapes a life on the streets, receives a society education, marries, takes on various lovers, becomes a dancer in a revue, is imprisoned for murder, and encounters Jack the Ripper. When "e;Earth Spirit"e; was premiered Leipzig in 1898, Wedekind was vilified and persecuted for advocating unfeigned sexual pleasure and making his heroine a heartless whore. "e;Death and Devil"e; and "e;Castle Wetterstein,"e; the other plays that make up this volume, are essentially extensions of and complementary to the Lulu tragedies.

NCSS-CBC 2021 Notable Social Studies Trade Book One of Bank Street’s 2021 Best Children’s Books of the Year STARRED REVIEW! “Armed with her own unique power phrase—'I’m Lulu Lovington, the ONE and only!’—Lulu feels empowered to handle any questions that come her way…. This book does more than simply tell a single story of biracial experience: it talks about navigating everyday racism in sensitive, but frank, ways. This affirmation is just as important as the power phrase…. All children will benefit from this pitch-perfect discussion of race, identity, complexity, and beauty.”--Kirkus Lulu loves her family, but people are always asking What are you? Lulu hates that question. Her brother inspires her to come up with a power phrase so she can easily express who she is, not what she is. Includes a note from the author, sharing her experience as the only biracial person in her family and advice for navigating the complexity of when both parents do not share the same racial identity as their children.

Although they have different interests, Alex and Lulu always have fun together until Alex starts to wonder if their differences might make them complete opposites.
