Siti’s Sisters
Interest Age: 9 - 14
Reading Age: 7 - 8
Turquoise - Gold band
A series of stories about a tight-knit group of girls who call themselves ‘the Sisters’.
(Siti is the leader, but the other girls get to have their say too!)
Perfectly-pitched, these light-hearted books follow the ups and downs of the group, covering a range of real-life issues that will resonate with today’s emerging teens.
That includes trouble with friends, school, boys, new stepparents, siblings, etc.
Topped off with contemporary illustrations and only 36 pages long, the books have been a real game-changer for many reluctant/struggling girl readers.
NOTE: The Set 1 books are slightly easier reads for slightly younger readers (9+). Sets 2, 3 and 4 are then at the same level – though Set 4 touches on some more grown-up topics, so is only suitable for slightly older readers (12+).

"Finally, a series for struggling girls designed to inspire them to read! These are great books with street-cred images to reflect modern society."
Liz, Librarian
"I think this book was funny, I liked that this book was short and the chapters were short. I read it in one go. The book was about a group of friends in school when there was someone special visiting. I will look forward to reading more books by this author."

"I love your books. It is great it's got so much drama. It was so funny I could not stop laughing."
Student, Wordsley School
"A lovely little book that is very popular in our school library. Its the perfect size for KS3 reluctant readers and low ability readers. Nice easy to read font, a few images and an easy to understand story line."

"I had a girl pupil who was interesting in horses but would never read a book. I gave her ‘Horsing Around’ and she was hooked. She went on to read the whole series and then asked for more!"

"I am 15 nearly 16. have been reading your books about ‘the Sisters’ and have been enjoying them a lot. My favourite book is Boys! I love the way they get in trouble and have to sort it at the last minute. Before I never enjoyed reading because I have disabilities and find words hard. But I can’t wait to start the next book. I like to finish it fast."
Student, Patcham High School
"Full of characters that will appeal to teenage girls, whilst being an easy read which does not talk down. This is ideal for its target market."

"Our struggling girls just loved this series and found them gripping and achievable. They especially enjoyed the follow-up tasks in the workbooks which were excellent for supporting their writing and comprehension skills."
SENCO
"Spot on – a bit like Jacqueline Wilson for those who can't yet manage too much prose on the page."
