Review: Follow My Leader Review: Follow My Leader is a book written by James B. Garfield. There are different settings in which the story takes place such as a baseball field. The main character in the story is a boy named Jimmy. Jimmy becomes blind due to a fire cracker. A kid had lit up a firecracker and when he realized that he was in trouble he threw it, but it exploded in Jimmy's face. The kid who threw the fireworks is named Mike Adams. Ever since the accident Mike became meaner and all of Jimmy's friends stopped hanging around Mike. Jimmy started learning about things that blind people had to do such as learning Braille, how blind people walk in doors, and how to walk with a white cane. But, when Jimmy got a guide-dog he didn't need the cane anymore. Jimmy went to the guide-dog school and after enough training Jimmy got a guide-dog that he named Leader. At the school, Jimmy's roommate was Mack. Mack had told him to forgive Mike. Mack was a blind man and before he was also mad at the person who made him blind. Then he had learned about how sad the person who made him blind felt so he forgave him he told Jimmy about all of this but, Jimmy didn't, know what to do. What will happen, will Jimmy forgive Mike or will Mike have a guilty conscience forever?
