Amanda the Teen Activist - Paperback

by Catherine Kelaher (Author)

Can one girl and her friends save the lives of hundreds of factory farmed hens?

When 13-year-old Amanda Cotter is uprooted to Australia, away from her best friend and her dog, she thinks things can't get much worse. Well, that's until she finds herself hiding in a caged egg farm after her first day at Woollybutt High.

Face-to-face with a trapped hen, Amanda vows to make a difference. Can she prove to her dad and the world that one person can spark change, or will her brave efforts put herself and the hens in greater danger?

Reviews:

"I loved this book. It is all about animal cruelty and a girl called Amanda saving lots of little chickens. I think everyone should definitely buy and read this book because it's the best book I've ever read. So far." - 8 year old Amber.

"Even as a grown up, I was inspired by Amanda and learned a lot from her story. It was equal parts funny and moving, and I hope to see more of Amanda saving the world, one chicken at a time!" - Kelly Dudziak

"I couldn't put it down. A truly great read about friendship, loss, passion, compassion and about doing something right even though it might be scary." - Kay Liptrott.
