Rebecca's Rashness (Sister's 8)

Rebecca's Rashness (Sister's 8)

by Lauren Baratz - Logsted (Author), Greg Logsted (Author), JackieLogsted (Author)

Synopsis

A rather large problem has befallen the Huit girls. (Sisters, actually. Octuplets to be exact.) One particular New Year's Eve, the girls wait for their Mummy to bring them hot chocolate and their Daddy to return with more wood for the fire. But they don't. You must see the problem here. Eight little girls on their own, no mummy or daddy to take care of them. This is not a good thing. So now these little girls, must take care of themselves. At the same time, the question remains: What happened to Mummy and Daddy? The Sisters Eight (as they are called, affectionately and otherwise) are determined to find out. Luckily, they do seem to have someone or something helping them. Notes keep appearing behind a loose brick in the fireplace. It's a good old-fashioned mystery with missing (or dead) parents, nosy neighbors, talking refrigerators, and even a little magic. Eight little girls, eight cats, and one big mystery. Rebecca's the tough one, always chastising the other Eights for not bucking up when trouble arises. But how will she fare when it's her turn to face her power?

Media Reviews
Praise for Annie's Adventures:

Baratz-Logsted's tales of thrills, suspence and hijinks should satisfy adventure-seeking young readers. --Kirkus Readers What the kids are saying about the Sisters Eight: The Sisters 8 is really suspenseful and funny. I can't wait for the next one! --Indrani Kharbanda, age 10

I love the Sisters 8 series because I love mysteries. My cousins, friends, and my sister and I like to play the Sisters 8 and we are each a different sister. I also like that the sisters are 8 years old like me. -- Claire Williams, 8 years old I like it! My favorite part [in Annie's Adventures] is when they go to the toy store. --Ian Richardson, age 5

From a teacher:
Kimberly [is] a 5th grade student that receives Special Education services as well as ESL services. One day a week after school, Kimberly and I meet to strengthen her reading and writing skills. Kimberly and I began reading The Sisters 8: Annie's Adventures during our after school sessions but by her request she took the book home during the week to continue reading. Kimberly enjoyed this book tremendously and plans on reading all of the books in this series. The moment we finished the first book she was eager to begin the next one. Currently, she is reading the second book in The Sisters 8 series. I truly feel that The Sisters 8 series has contributed to Kimberly's academic success and to her increase of self confidence. Thank you.
