Books : Children's Books : Series : Early Reader : Ernestine & Amanda
-
In the first book that chronicles the lives of two girls growing up in the segregated South of the 1950s, Ernestine and Amanda agree on one thing--they aren't going to be friends. But as the year goes by, the girls are amazed to discover how much they are beginning to need each other.

For Members Only
Sixth grade looks like a drag for Ernestine until Wilhelmina, a tall, smart, super cool newcomer, gets her to enter a school speech contest.
Amanda loves sixth grade, especially her secret club for the cutest girls in her class -- and that definitely doesn't include fat Ernestine Harris.
Amanda may be able to keep Ernestine out of C.L.U.B., but she can't keep her out of her life. Who would have thought Ernestine would turn up at C.L.U.B.'s reception for the contest winners? Or that Amanda and her family would be eating Thanksgiving dinner at Ernestine's house? And who would have thought that having Ernestine around might not be so terrible after all?

Born to Dance
Amanda has decided she's going to become a world-famous dancer -- she's already one of the best students at Miss Davis's new dance studio on Monroe Street. Ernestine has no interest in taking ballet lessons -- especially with all those skinny girls running around in leotards -- but she loves playing piano for the classes. So both girls are upset when a suspicious fire closes down the studio.
Ernestine's outspoken friend Wilhelmina is convinced the vandalism is the work of white kids angry at the prospect of desegregation in their small southern town, but no one knows for sure. Can Ernestine and Amanda discover what really happened on Monroe Street? And have they finally found something they feel the same way about?

Two young African-American girls, Ernestine and Amanda, go to separate summer camps, and although they both enjoy the fun of camp, they each realize that their friends from home sometimes understand them best."
