A Superb Middle Grade Story, with Resources

[Jan Gould]

‘The Meerkat Wars’ by H.S. Toshack is a fast-paced, humorous yet thoughtful story dealing in an imaginative way with the topic of conflict between different cultural groups. Its use as an independent learning resource for 7 years and up is supported by an extensive set of free, downloadable resources at http://www.litworks.com/childrens.php.
