Durinda's Dangers, 2

by Lauren Baratz-Logsted, Greg Logsted, Jackie Logsted

Book Overview

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 mommy to bring them hot chocolate and their daddy to return with more wood for the fire. But they don't. Mommy and Daddy, that is. They're gone. Poof! Maybe dead--no one knows for sure.
You must see the problem here. Eight little girls on their own, no mommy or daddy to take care of them. This is...

Customer Reviews

The fun continues

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.

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!
