Little Scholars:
Ernestine & Amanda - (pb chapter book) by Sandra Belton "Friends? . . . or foes?
Emestine doesn.t like Miss Stuck-up, who acts like she knows everything. And Amanda doesn't like Emestine, either -- Fatso Emestine, who thinks she's such a terrific piano player, and worst of all, has stolen Amanda's best friend, Alicia. Why does fate keep throwing them together, at Miss EIder's piano Iessons, at church, at a party?

Now a famous musician, Camille Nickerson, is coming to town to give a recital, and Miss Elder's students are competing for the chance to perform at her concert. Amanda has found the perfect piece to make sure Miss Nickerson chooses her. Surely such an honor won't go to Fatso Emestine.

But on the most horrible day of Amanda's life, no one can make her feel better . . . except maybe Emestine."

Harriet Tubman: Freedom's Trailblazer by Kathleen Kudlinkski
"* * * Childhood of Famous Americans * * * One of the most popular series ever published for young Americans, these classics have been praised alike by parents, teachers, and librarians. With these lively, inspiring, fictionalized biographies -- easily read by children of eight and up -- today's youngster is swept right into history"

Let Me Fly - by Dolores Johnson " 'I will never forget the day I first wanted to fly ...' So begins the story of Minna, a little girl who is kidnapped from her African home in 1815, and brought in chains to America. There she is sold as a slave and works on a plantation. Her marriage and birth of her four children provide Minna with great joy. But when her husband is taken away to work on a different plantation, Minna knows that she must somehow help her children escape to freedom.

This first-person fictional story gives a poignant and realistic account of the lives of countless slaves. As Johnson herself writes, 'It is a story that must be told.' "
