Fran Lewis writes about issues that face so many children across the country. The issue of bullying has become more of a problem now that the Internet is a factor. Bertha, a thirteen-year-old teenage girl living in the South Bronx is having trouble dealing with everyday issues that children face in school today especially someone who doesn’t fit the so called popular mold. Bertha tries to find what will work for her.
After being wrongfully accused of misdoings she makes some bad choices before she learns to stand up for herself. This is a book for all teens and for adults who have children or work with children. I highly recommend Bertha and Tillie sisters Forever.

CURL UP WITH THIS BOOK ABOUT TWO LOVING SISTERS BY FRAN LEWIS

 

We grew up as Marcia and Fran. My sister was beautiful, thin and talented. She has the lead in productions of Broadway Shows in our school. These are true stories. Marcia was a ray of sunshine on a stormy day. She was rare. Never saying a negative word about anyone, always looking for the positive in people. No matter how difficult the problem, she figured out the solution. Sometimes the solution would make you smile and other times double over laughing.

CMash4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful message!Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020

I usually don't read YA/MG books, however, when I read the synopsis I thought this might be such a great book to add to my granddaughters' library when they get older. Was I right?

SISTERS contain journal entries from sisters, Bertha and Tillie's, younger days. I found it also had topics that are much deeper than the relationship between siblings and that children have to deal with even in today's culture. It also touched upon when an elderly relative has an illness and how a family comes together to help.

At times I was laughing and other times, my heart ached for Bertha who endured bullying. And what was refreshing is how Bertha learned that her sister, Tillie always had her back.

I am so glad that I decided to read this book. I think it is a positive and powerful read for children entering middle school especially in today's climate with bullying.
