Secret Sisters Volume 4Sandra ByrdKindle EditionChristian FictionAges 8-125 StarsIf you have been reading my reviews on the series of books by Sandra Byrd you have seen where they have been re-issued into e book format combining 2 books into each volume. Where there were 12 volumes in the paperback version of Secret Sisters there are 6 volumes in e book form.Each of the secret sister series along with the two stories in each also has a fun activity section at the end of each one. Something that Tess and Erin have done together in the book.If you have been following along you will see that Tess has a habit of trouble finding her or is it the opposite Tess seems to find trouble and that is no different in the first book Holiday Hero. When they were getting ready to take a spring break vacation, Tess's mother has to go to San Diego to receive an award for her work. This will be a great vacation until Tess's brother breaks his leg. Now her trip is ruined. All Tess really can think about is herself and begs to go. Finally talking her mother and father into letting Erin and her mother go along, the trip is set. Tess promises to buy Tyler something from the reptile store for his lizards, but as usual Tess forgets every day till it's too late and manages to get not only herself but Erin in trouble. Will Tess learn what it means to take responsibility and also to quit blaming her problems on other members of her family? Once again Tess sees how God has her in His hands and answers her prayers. If she would just learn to wait on God and not try and do things herself.In the second book Petal Power, there teacher is getting married in April and Tess and Erin just finds out she has a problem which seems major in the girls eyes. He fiancée niece who was to be her junior bridesmaid maid is set for a kidney transplant and after everyone pooled their money together Ms. Martinez is not going to be able to have the flowers she wants for her wedding plus they will not get to go on a honeymoon. As the girls are thinking up a way to help her, Ms. Martinez asks Erin if she would like to takes her nieces place as she is about the same size. When Erin accepts this makes Tess jealous because she is not involved. As they try to find a way to be able to help her with the flowers can Tess learn to get over her jealousy and realize that just because they are Secret Sisters they will not always be able to do things together as much as they would like to...As Tess collects money from all the kids in the class to help pay for flowers once again disaster strikes. Will Tess be able to pull this off and have the wedding go as planned?Every book in this series has a valuable lesson for young girls dealing with problems, not only with in the family but with friends as they learn with adversity to face them head on with confidence and faith. I would recommend this book for all young girls either in E-Book form or paperback.
