I received the first item I ever bought on ebay yesterday, a copy of a novel, Follow my leader, written by James B. Garfield in 1957. I read a paperback reprinted version of the novel as a boy. It is juvenile literature. It tells the story of a boy named Jimmy Carter who loses his sight in a playground accident. It is a rather inspiring story of how he learns to cope with his blindness, is given a guide dog he calls Leader and comes to forgive the boy who caused the accident. The seller from whom I bought the book is honest. The price for the book and the shipping charges were very reasonable and I received the book within two weeks of purchasing it.

I studied children's librarianship and children's literature when I was in library school. I worked briefly as children's librarian for the Smiths Falls Public Library many years ago. I was hired as a replacement for the librarian while she was away on maternity leave. I still have an interest in literature for children and young adults and this particular book, in my opinion, ranks among the best. It is still available in reprinted editions and I strongly recommend it for young readers.
