The chief complaint was that, at least in the first half of the book, the characters were insufficiently distinguishable from each other – this did resolve slightly as the book went on. The less positive comments predominated, however. Quite a few readers said they enjoyed it when taken as a whole, though they had issues with it whilst reading. Positive comments were that some readers found the characters believable and engaging the format was unusual and interesting the value of women’s friendships was brought out and some of the problems were well put. The general impression of this book was ‘an easy read’ – a good, enjoyable page-turner, intellectually undemanding and not to be taken too seriously. ![]() St Just Monday Morning Reading Group 28 December 2020. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That’s why you have to be only semi-scientific, because now you just throw your hypothesis out into the real world.

Rare violence includes April in peril from attempted murder by shooting, and a direct but non-gory description of someone trapped in a burning building, a roof beam hitting the skull, and burning skin. She's currently in a same-sex relationship that mentions some kissing and having sex without any detailed descriptions. April identifies as bisexual and briefly addresses sexual preference once or twice. The book asks a lot of questions about the power of that kind of celebrity, and about the ways in which social media divides and unites people. April's just out of college and starting out in New York City, which she loves, and she becomes an internationally famous social media star practically overnight.

What drove such notoriety was her triple-threat ability to rabble-rouse others to join her cause, organize their ire into activist efforts, and, perhaps most astoundingly, attract high levels of public attention through dazzling PR stunts and spectacles. Certainly not her physical presence - a white-haired, grandmotherly figure well into her 60s. But it wasn’t her outspokenness that made her particularly dangerous.

It’s the story of the Children’s Crusade told from the perspective of the formidable Mother Jones, an activist who in her time was labelled “the most dangerous woman in America.” So begins “Mother Jones and Her Army of Mill Children” (Random House Children’s Books), a picture book for children aged four to eight written by Jonah Winter.
