Secret Sisters-Volume 0neSandra ByrdE- Book EditionChristian FictionAges 8-125 StarsOriginally published in paperback the Secret Sisters series consisted of twelve books. Re-Issued in an E -Book format, the books have been combined to have 2 fully complete books in each volume therefore cutting it down to 6 volumes.In the first book of the series Heart to Heart we meet Tess Thomas who felt like a total reject in the 5th grade. New town, new school, no friends until she meets Colleen who becomes her best friend. Or so she thinks. 6th Grade, and Colleen and Tess are in separate class rooms. This is when she finds out just how much of a best friend she really is. When Colleen starts a new club up she wants Tess to join but when she finds out what she has to do to become a member and what it will cost to keep her friendship will Tess go along with it or back out. Besides she has met a new friend Erin and they soon become Secret Sister.Book two of the series Twenty One Ponies Tess has this problem. She is an expert at getting into trouble and this time it could be a disaster. When Tess is invited to go to the harvest party at Erin's church, Tess borrows her mother's diamond earrings without asking permission. Now these just are not any earrings, these were the earrings she wore when she got married. When Tess loses them she now has to figure out a way to get them back or buy new ones but in the end confession turns out to be the best thing to do. As Tess learns more about God and how he forgives she is also forgiven by her mother. Will the earrings be found and will Tess in turn learn how to pray and to follow God.I just fell in love with the other series and I knew that The Secret Sister Series would be just as great. Young girls will learn a great lesson as they read. Lessons on faith, friendship, family and friends and the cost of doing things that should not be done. Each chapter is short s to not make the book seem to drag on and with an adventure in each chapter to keep it interesting. This is a must for all young girls library.
