Books in Sarafina series

Deep in the Caribbean, at sea on board a merchant ship, Sarafina is forced to cook for a crew of miscreants. As she strives to uncover the secret behind an ancient spyglass, cutthroats attack the ship. Sarafina is kidnapped and made part of the crew. During the voyage, she hears tales of the ghostly legend of Stowaway Jaye, rumored to be aboard. Will Sarafina solve the mystery of the spyglass, or will she be discovered and hanged for crimes of piracy?

Sarafina has always admired nature, but she never wanted to be in charge of it! That’s exactly what happens, though, when her sister—who happens to be Mother Nature—gets sick. Sarafina has to take care of the plants and animals, and there sure is a lot to learn. It’s not long before she starts making mistakes, like mixing up the colors of the rainbow. With the help of her two best friends, will she be able to fix her mistakes and get nature back on track?

Keeping up with the third Grandmother of Nature is much harder than Sarafina expected. In the rainforest, Grandma Cora would rather swing from the trees like a monkey than stand around chatting. How will Sarafina and her friends convince Grandma Cora to help cure Aurelia if they can’t get her to stay still? One thing is for sure: the Elements better play nicely if they want Grandma Cora’s help. But will they?

No one ever told Sarafina that the Fire was so dramatic. Since taking over Mother Nature’s job, she’s learned that Air is rascally, Water is weepy, and Earth is grumbly. But it’s not until a volcano is about to erupt that Sarafina finds out just how dramatic Fire is. How will she and her friends convince Fire to keep the volcano’s eruption calm and slow rather than explosive? Perhaps some pink bubbles might help…

Taking over Mother Nature’s job hasn’t been easy. Sarafina has managed to mix up the colors of a rainbow and turn a desert into a muddy mess. But now she’s starting to get the hang of it… Or is she? When she and her friends learn that a big earthquake is about to shake a small island, they must find a way to keep the plants, animals, and people safe. Will they come up with a perfect plan, or will they find themselves in the middle of a bouncy disaster?

Meeting the second Grandmother of Nature in China is off to a good start. Grandma Ann is kind, calm, and thoughtful--and she wants to help Sarafina find a cure for Aurelia. But could Grandma Ann be too kind, calm, and thoughtful? When she says it will take at least two weeks for a cure, will Sarafina and her friends find a way to speed the process along before it's too late? (Book 6 in the Sarafina Series)

This is it: the last Grandmother of Nature adventure. Sarafina and her friends are off to meet Grandma Mickeyla—who happens to be Sarafina’s mom. This trip is so different, and not just because Sarafina is excited to spend time with her mother. Mickeyla has an idea to cure Aurelia that is so crazy that it just might work. Can Sarafina and her friends make it happen? There’s only one way to find out.

Ever since Mother Nature got sick, her sister Sarafina has been in charge of nature—and taking care of the plants and animals sure has been tricky. It gets even trickier when a big storm is brewing over the desert where it shouldn’t be. Sarafina and her friends have one chance to keep the storm under control. Will they be able to do it, or will they become part of the muddy mess themselves? (Book 2 in the Sarafina series)
