It's bad enough being the smartest kid in the school, but when you're a girl, and when your father still thinks it's a man's world, and when you never learned to back down from an argument, it's even worse. Lisdalia has all these problems . and more. Of course, it helps if you have a couple of really good friends, like Mike and Tanja, and a teacher who cares, but in the end, when things get serious, it's who you are inside that counts. Who ever said it was easy being a kid? LISDALIA is the second volume in Brian Caswell's critically acclaimed Boundary Park Trilogy which began with Mike and concludes with Maddie. Lisdalia won the 1995 Multicultural Children's Literature Award and was Highly Commended in the 1995 Human Rights Award for Children's Literature.
