Rikki & Rai
Description
Ten short stories follow the bold and fiery Tucker sisters as they help each other face a year of curve balls--from sneaky bullies to health scares, to their parents' unexpected separation.
Nine-year-old Rikki is outgoing and always in charge. Eight-year-old Rai is playful and hot-headed. Like true siblings, Rikki and Rai are either pulling each other's hair or teaming up for adventure and mischief. When it matters most, the girls always put their differences aside to be there for each other.
In ten funny and heartfelt short stories that switch between their perspectives, the sisters outsmart bullies, face health scares, and have their world flipped upside down by their parents' unexpected separation. Author Tiffany Golden perfectly captures the boldness and vulnerability of these two young sisters, delivering a refreshing and touching depiction of the messiness of childhood.
