Books with author Helen Orme

It's Book Week, and writer Lola Leigh has come to visit the school. The visitor must be given a good impression of the school, so the Sisters are put in charge. But between dodging schoolyard fights and teenagers playing face invaders, will they be able to whisk her away to give budding writer, Kelly, some advice? The watchful Mrs. Williams is always close at hand... The Siti's Sisters Series 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.

Her two older sisters don't want to come to her childish party, and the Sisters don't seem to want to talk about her birthday at all! Has Donna done something wrong?
