Book of Interest: Sarai and the Meaning of Awesome

Sarai wants to raise enough money to buy back her family's house, will she succeed? I guess'll I have to pick this up and find out. I need to review more children's books because how cool is this story. I love the cover, the art was made by Christine Almeda who also did the illustrations in the book.


Book: Sarai and the Meaning of Awesome (Sarai book #1) by Sarai Gonzalez and Monica Brown and illustrations by Christine Almeda

Description:

Sarai Gonzalez is AWESOME.

Fourth grader Sarai Gonzalez can do anything. She can bake, dance, and run her own cupcake business. But when Sarai's grandparents are forced to move, even Sarai's not sure what to do. So she hatches a super-awesome plan with her younger sisters and cousin to buy back the house. But houses are more expensive than she ever thought, her sisters won't listen, and she's running out of time. Will Sarai find a way to save the day?

Inspired by the life of viral video sensation and social activist Sarai Gonzalez with the help of award-winning children's book author Monica Brown.
