Kehret, Peg._Saving Lilly._Pocket Books, 2001 [0-671-03422-7]
After writing a report on animal cruelty, Erin and David refuse to go
on their 6th grade class trip to a visiting circus because the way
the animals are treated. They class and eventually the entire
school tries to raise money to save the elephant. This 148 page
book is a combination of two stories - a struggle of some students
against a strong-willed teacher and the story of animal cruelty in
circuses along with animal rescue organizations. It is a good story
that makes a point. There is an author's note at the end of the book
providing resources for students.
