(2011)(A book in the Secret Sisters series)
An omnibus of novels by Sandra Byrd
TWO COMPLETE BOOKS!
Book 5, Double Dare: Tess wants to be noticed. But making her mark has a high cost. Is it all worth it?
This year's birthday is the worst. First, Tess is cut from the school play. Then all her friends cancel on her birthday sleepover. Worst of all, everyone seems to be great at something - except her.
Tess searches for a way she, too, can be unique and special, like her brother and her friends. She decides to try out for the local gymnastics squad - and she's good! But the demands of practice time force her to give up other things she cares about, like time with her Secret Sister, Erin. Will making the gymnastics team prove she can excel... or prove she's a failure after all?
Book 6, War Paint: Should she compete in an all-out mural painting contest with her Secret Sister, Erin--or run for "Miss Coronado"? Tess must decide!
Competition is fierce for the sixth grade mural team, and Tess's Secret Sister, Erin, desperately wants their group to win. Tess is determined that they will, despite a threat of "war" from members of the snobbish Coronado Club, who have decided they deserve to paint the mural.
Tess is shocked, however, to learn that she's one of four girls nominated for the "Miss Coronado" contest. If she decides to run, she has to drop out of the mural competition--perhaps ruining her team's, and Erin's, chances. If she doesn't, the catty Lauren is sure to become "Miss Coronado." And nobody, not even Erin, wants that. What will Tess choose?
Each volume includes: fun, friends, family, gentle Christian faith, and a fast-paced read.
"Byrd's debut moves along at a swift pace, spurring young readers on ... in Tess she has created a truly likable protagonist who has her share of every day worries but is learning to face them with more and more confidence." Publisher's Weekly (review of first book in series)
