All four Sassy books:
Little Sister Is NOT My Name!: It's not easy being nine, especially when everyone calls you Little Sister instead of your proper name. But nothing stops Sassy Simone Sanford! When the going gets tough, she reaches into her shimmery Sassy Sack to find what's needed - a camera, shoestring, flashlight, or superglue - to solve life's problems. When she and her family are trapped in a scary situation, Sassy learns that courage comes in all sizes - and being called Little Sister might not be so bad after all.
The Birthday Storm: It's summer vacation, and Sassy and her family are headed to Florida to visit Grammy for her birthday. A huge celebration is planned at Grammy's beach house. Sassy can't wait! But the weather reports say a hurricane is swirling in the Atlantic, and could be coming right toward Grammy's town. So much for family fun-everyone's too busy boarding up their houses and stocking up on food. To make matters worse, the local sea turtles' lives are threatened, there's no electricity, stores are closed, and there's no birthday cake.
The Silver Secret: Sassy’s school is doing a musical performance that is going to be televised, and Sassy wants to sing with the choir. However, it's no secret that Sassy can't sing. But she has also been hiding a big secret . . . for the past year she has been taking pizcolo lessons, and she’s quite good at it. Instead of tuneless croaks, she produces lovely, lyrical tones from her silver instrument. But she has to prove to the music teacher not only that she’s needed in the show, but also that she can make a difference in the performance.
The Dazzle Disaster Dinner Party: Sassy wants to cook a fancy meal and it turns out to be a disaster. The recipe goes wrong. The cooking is a mess. And -- the dog eats the cake. Thank goodness for friends and for all of the wonderful items Sassy stashes in her sack. Who knew stuff in a sack could save a dinner party?! Well, when you’re Sassy Simone Sanford, a little ingenuity goes a long way. Backmatter provides simple and safe recipes that kids can do with the help of an adult.
