Juliet Joins the Guides

Pamela Sykes
(Red Fox)
978-0099431107, RRP £1.50, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Buy "Juliet Joins the Guides" on Amazon

A rather overbearingly didactic story. Children tend to see things in black and white, so does this author. Grey is not a tenable moral shade. Juliet, the outsider, is accepted by her peers by becoming a Guide, and a 'good' guide too. Not first choice for teachers but will probably be enjoyed by Junior girls, especially those in or aspiring to be in the Guide Movement. One good point; realistic line drawings and a cover which cues the reader exactly about what is inside.
