Reviews
A great introduction to critical thinking and political activism for young readers.
The book teaches young readers that everyone, regardless of age or gender, can participate in public debate.
An easy read and a great bridge between picture books and novels for early readers.
The plot is fast paced without sacrificing the credibility of the characters and their relationships with one another.
Maggie weighs into the chocolate fray, struggling to come to terms with protesting ... and, ultimately, realizing the necessity of acting on her convictions.
