Lively and positive story.

Marlee Martin and Doug Cooney's LEADING LADIES continues the story of spunky deaf child Megan in a sequel following her fourth grade adventures, directed to ages 8-12. Here her class is putting on their own original musical based on Wizard of oz - and Megan wants to be the star, and sign Dorothy's part. When a friend from camp transfers into her class from her all-deaf school and covets the same songs, trouble ensues in this lively and positive story.


Heart warming!

Marlee Matlin and Doug Cooney craft a beautiful book about childhood friendship and difficult issues that have to be faced. The book is leaves you with a warm feeling and the characters play out their story with heartwarming results.

Buy the whole series from Marlee Matlin...

Great life lessons for pre-teens and empowering for those kids who may not be included in the "majority" group in their community. Your kids will want to read all the adventures of the protagonist in Matlin's series of books. My suggestion is to just go ahead and buy each of her books, you won't be sorry.
Also, for older ASL students, this book is a very quick read (yep, you can do it in one or two sittings) and a beginner's glimpse into one view of deaf culture.



"It doesn't make sense to me...in the book, Dorothy is a girl who can hear and talk - and Toto is a little dog. So I'm sorry - but I just don't see a Dorothy who's deaf and talks with her hands and has a great big dog for Toto!"

Megan's fourth-grade class is putting on their own original musical based on the book The Wizard of Oz, and Megan wants to be the star of the show and play Dorothy. Since she's deaf, she will sign the songs for her audition. However, a problem develops when Lizzie, her best friend from camp, transfers from her all-deaf school to Megan's class - and signs the same two songs that Megan was going to do! Luckily, Megan has some other ideas up her sleeve...

Academy Award-winning actress Marlee Matlin and Doug Cooney follow Deaf Child Crossing and Nobody's Perfect with this winning story that perfectly captures the humor, joys, and frustration of childhood friendships.
