Description:
Ten short stories follow the bold and fiery Tucker sisters as they help each other face a year of curve balls--from sneaky bullies to health scares, to their parents' unexpected separation.
Brief description:
Tiffany Golden (known to her students as Ms. Tee) is a storyteller, teacher, and proud auntie who believes every child carries magic and starlight inside them. She's the author of I Want to Be Big and Wash Day, and when she's not writing, she's probably sketching, laughing too loud, or corralling creativity in her classroom. She lives in Oakland, California, where she continues to dream up adventures that celebrate joy, imagination, and a touch of mischief.
Review Quotes:
"The work moves quickly, exploring themes of chronic illness, loneliness, changing family structures, and more, all handled gracefully with writing that has a conversational tone and incorporates explanations that are easy for children to comprehend. . . . A touching look at the bonds of sisterhood." -- Kirkus Reviews
"This was really good--so much depth to the stories. The sisters face some truly scary/challenging things but are always there for each other, even if they fight a lot. Each chapter is its own story--perfect for readers building endurance." -- Amanda MacGregor, Teen Librarian Toolbox
