5.0 out of 5 stars
Inspirational, 29 Oct 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fragile Flag (Hardcover)
'The Fragile Flag' is, without question, the best book I have ever read. The well potrayed main character is a young and vulnerable girl named Georgie.

an important book for parents to discuss with their children, 1 Nov 2002

This review is from: The Fragile Flag (Hall Family Chronicles (Numbered)) (Paperback)
I read this book many years ago and I still have a copy on my shelf. I think all parents who have strong feelings about nuclear disarmament should read this to their children and use it as a jumping off point to discuss nuclear weapons, war, and the impact that softspoken leaders like Mahama Ghandi and little Georgie (the book's main character) can have when our nations' leaders let fear prevail over morality. I also believe it reminds those who seek to use the flag as a symbol of blind patriotism and allegiance to American military actions that pacifists can be patriots, too. There is so much to carry away from this simple, but elegantly written book that an elementary or junior high school student can understand and appreciate... it certainly speaks to many of the issues that are being debated in the current political climate.

By Melissa McCauley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fragile Flag (Hall Family Chronicles (Numbered)) (Paperback)
The fragile flag shows how one person's convictions can change the world. I was impressed by the author's lesson to children about their rights as Americans; that if you do not speak up to defend your rights, they will be taken away.
