Harriet and the Roller Coaster (By Nancy Carlson; Carolrhoda Books, First Avenue Editions, an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group, soft cover, Interest Level: Grades K-2; $6.95) For days, George has been taunting Harriet about the roller coaster at the amusement park. “It’s so big, you can’t see the top…It goes so fast, you might fall out…You’ll be too scared to ride on it.” “I am NOT scared,” Harriet tells him, but that night she doesn’t sleep very well. The next morning, when it is time to go, she feels a little sick. Children are certain to recognize Harriet’s terror and cheer her spunk while she conquers her fear.
