  • Odd One Out: A Siti's Sisters Book

    Helen Orme

    Paperback (Ransom Publishing, March 1, 2007)
    It's Donna's birthday in a few days, but her parents just can't afford to throw her a big bash. To make matters worse, people are acting strangely around her. 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? 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 thatโ€™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.
