Durinda's Dangers, 2

Both my daughters love this new series starring eight eight-year-old sisters, mystery, adventure, and a huge dose of humor. The Huit sisters live in an unusual house, shared with eight unusual cats. In the way of multiples, the sisters find ways to distinguish themselves from one another, and Baratz-Logsted has done a brilliant job of imagining the conflicts and the joys of sisterhood. The set-up allows for each sister to discover a new and unexpected capacity within herself. This time it's Durinda's turn to discover her talent. And it's Valentine's day. Highly recommended to fans of The Penderwicks, Nancy Drew, Scooby Doo, and any child who's ever thought about what it would be like without those parents around.

> This book follows Annie, Durinda, Georgia, Jackie, Marcia, Petal, Rebecca, and Zinnia, who are octuplets. Ah, it's Valentine's Day, love is in the air, but when it comes time to get cards, trouble starts to arise. Read this book to see what this group of eight year old octuplets do next, you won't want to put it down. It is written well and keeps the reader reading. This book is a great read for those that like Lemony Snicket's books.

The Sisters Eight - Annie, Durinda, Georgia, Jackie, Marcia, Petal, Rebecca, and Zinnia - are back, and things are getting stranger! It's been a month since Mommy and Daddy disappeared. With Valentine's Day coming up, the girls have their hands full with a lovelorn talking fridge and making the best Valentine's Day cards for Will to see which sister he loves best. The sisters are still searching for their powers and gifts. Being the next in line, this time it's Durinda's turn. But Durinda's power turns out to be a dangerous one - and she's not sure she can handle it! THE SISTERS 8 is my favorite new tween series. The story keeps getting better and I love how funny and witty the books are. The sisters are a fun, eccentric family, and I wish I could spend a day with them. I think Zinnia is becoming my favorite sister and I have to think that maybe her cat-talking talent shouldn't be ignored! If you have tweens or know tweens, then get THE SISTERS 8 in their hands now - they're sure to love it. Kudos to this family of authors for writing another fun adventure!
