Petal’s Problems
by Lauren Baratz-Logsted with Greg Logstead & Jackie Logstead
The sixth book in the “Sisters 8” series is Petal’s story. Annie, Durinda, Georgia, Jackie, and Marcia have all received their powers and gifts, and with the arrival of June, it is Petal’s turn. It seems, though, that June should already have arrived, and it has not. That is okay for Petal, because she is not ready for her power and gift. The sisters have received an invitation to attend the wedding of two of their family members in France. The girls decide not to go to France. Then June arrives, and Petal is terrified of receiving her power. She hides under her bed every day, refusing to come out and go to school. Her sister, Rebecca, pulls her out every day, and her sisters make her go anyway. Their mechanic friend Pete tells them that he will get them passports so that the girls can go to France. Then he tells them that he and his wife will go to France with the girls. The girls finish school with no problems and pack for their trip to France. On the flight to France, Petal’s power finally shows up. What do you think Petal’s power will be? What will she get as a gift? Will Petal learn to not be so scared of her new power? Will her new power help her while she is in France?

Tina Cocolina: Queen of the Cupcakes
by Pablo Cartaya and Martin Howard and illustrated by Kirsten Richards
Tina Cocolina goes to the Gingersnap Academy for Rising Cupcakes, and most of the other cupcakes had already found their toppings. Tina, however, had not found her topping yet. One student, Candyce Cremiere, had found hers on a recipe during snack time, and Cremella du Chocolat had found her while playing the viola in music class. Tina looked all over for her very own topping, but so far, she was unable to find one that worked. Tina did not think that she would find it in time to be part of the Cream of the Top Cupcake Queen contest. Her mother had been Queen three times, and Tina would be very disappointed to not take part in the contest. Tina tries to create her own toppings using a balloon, dark chocolate, and a licorice shoestring, but the balloon pops. Will Tina get her topping in time to take part in the contest? What will her special topping be?

The Present
by Bob Gill
Arthur finds a present while he is looking for something in his father’s closet. Someone tried to hide the present, but Arthur sees the white wrapping paper with blue stars and the big red bow. Arthur knows his mother always wraps his presents with a red ribbon. Arthur imagines all the different things that could be in the box. Is it a cake, a ring toss, a sailboat, a teddy bear, or chocolate bars? Arthur also thinks about the things he could with the things the present could be. He could take the sailboat to the pond in the park and sail it or paint a picture of his house with a paint box. Arthur checks to make sure his present is still there every day. What do you think is in the present for Arthur? What do you think Arthur will do with that present?
