Ernestine and Amanda: Mysteries on Monroe Street

165 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81612-X
(3) 4-6 In alternating chapters, not-quite friends and sixth-graders Ernestine and Amanda tell how the dance studio at which Amanda takes lessons and for which Ernestine plays the piano is vandalized. The African-American girls are confronted with serious issues involving desegregation and integration. This story of growing up in the 1950s is just as well told and believable as the earlier titles.
