Book Overview

Jackie's turn Book four in this exciting new series April has finally arrived. How lucky of Jackie to have such a lovely month to tell her story.

That's the day every adult dreads--Tax Day The Eights have never had to worry about taxes. Their parents always took care of everything. But as we all know, their parents are gone (or dead). Who will take care of the taxes now? Luckily, the girls have Pete the Mechanic on their side. He'll help them.

More fun, and for adults, too

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. April Fools is suitably foolish. But this time the Eights have to struggle with a problem normally left to adults: taxes. The horror! 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.

Great Books, But Where Are The Rest?

I'm a nine year old girl. These books great, and I really like them. They're full of suspence, and I really feel like I'm in the story. They normally publish one book per month, the story takes place in that month also. I think that's pretty cool. But a book wasn't published in May, or June. Does anyone know when the next book comes out? Cause I love these books!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love reading with your girls? You will LOVE this series!!

Lauren, I have 2 daughters 10 & 11 and we all love reading your Sisters 8 Series. When will the next book be available?
