Friendship, Short Story Collections, Chapter Books, Schools & Teaching 

Lu is worried. Her parents want to move her to a new, private school, so she can get better exam results. But Lu doesn't want to go; she'll miss the sisters. Can the sisters come up with some good reasons why Lu should stay where she is? The Siti's Sisters books are a series of multicultural fiction books designed to have particular appeal to girls. Each story has around 1200 - 1500 words and is ideal for reluctant readers. The books are designed to appeal to girls aged 10 - 14 with a reading age of 7 - 8 years. Siti has four really, really good mates: Donna, Lu, Kelly and Rachel. They have been friends forever and are so close that Siti calls them her Sisters; and that's how they think of themselves. The books are illustrated in black-and-white throughout, and the tightly controlled vocabulary and compelling, convincing stories will stimulate reading amongst poorer readers. - from Amzon
