Amanda the Teen Activist (Feathers & Freedom)

Can one girl and her friends save the lives of hundreds of factory farmed hens? When Amanda Cotter is dragged 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. As she looks into the eyes of a trapped hen, Amanda realises that if she gets out of here, nothing will be the same again. Will she be able to prove to her dad that one 13-year-old activist really can make a difference or will her efforts get herself and the hens in more trouble than ever before? 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.
