Customer Reviews

"Follow the Leader" good for adolescents and adults

We need more of Vicki Winslow's books on youth (and adult!) issues in 21st Century settings! I like the way Winslow uses words and that she chooses important issues. Her characters, with all of their strengths and weaknesses and the issues with which they are confronted, are pertinent today.

Follow The Leader

A compelling story of how one girl can make such a difference in the world. When her bestfriend Jackie is acting predujuist towards black people it is time for Amanda to take a difference. In the end, everything works out great for Amanda and has many friends including ones who are black. A great Historical Fiction book for children of all ages. Teaches kids how life really was back then.
