The 1980s: Earthsong

160 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | July, 2002 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1608-6 $$22.90
(4) 4-6 Century Kids series. In Earthsong, some friends fight pollution and start a band to promote their cause. In Families, despite fears associated with Y2K, the Aldriches reunite on New Year's Eve to celebrate a family member's centennial. The characterizations are superficial and the stories feel rushed, but the ten-volume series remains strong. Black-and-white photos of cultural artifacts enhance the nostalgic mood. [Review covers these Century Kids titles: The 1980's and The 1990's.]
