Another Ernestine and Amanda worth reading

This is Belton's third book in this series about two middle-class African-American girls in the 1950's. The girls are now 6th graders dealing with problems and fears that are common to any child in any decade. Lessons on how to deal with stage fright, family relationships, loyalty, friendship, exclusive clubs and Black History are all taught in a story form that holds the reader's interest. As an elementary school librarian I highly recommend this book and look forward to adding the next installment to our collection.
