Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no! May is almost over and that means only one thing: Petal's month is about to begin. For most people, this would be a good thing. They would look forward to discovering their gift and their power. But not our dear Petal. As far as Petal is concerned, it could stay May forever.
At least the sisters have some excitement in their future: The wedding of Aunt Martha and Uncle George will bring them, the Petes, and the cats to Paris, where fun--and a little bit of danger--will come as surely as the changing of the month.

What the kids are saying about the Sisters Eight:
"The Sisters 8 is really suspenseful and funny. I can't wait for the next one!"--Indrani Kharbanda, age 10
"I love the Sisters 8 series because I love mysteries. My cousins, friends, and my sister and I like to play the Sisters 8 and we are each a different sister. I also like that the sisters are 8 years old like me." -- Claire Williams, 8 years old

About the Author
Lauren Baratz-Logsted has written books for all ages. Her books for children and young adults include the Sisters Eight series, The Education of Bet and Crazy Beautiful. She lives with her family in Danbury, Connecticut.
I was an independent bookseller and buyer for 11 years before deciding to take a chance on myself as a novelist. While trying to sell my books, I worked variously as a Publishers Weekly reviewer, a freelance editor, a sort-of librarian, and a window washer. My first novel, The Thin Pink Line, about a woman who fakes an entire pregnancy, was published by Red Dress Ink in 2003 as their own first-ever hardcover. They've since published two more of my books, Crossing The Line (a sequel) and A Little Change Of Face. In September they'll publish a fourth: How Nancy Drew Saved My Life, a comic gothic that's equal parts Nancy Drew, Jane Eyre and Chick-Lit. 2006 will also see the publication of two other of my novels: Vertigo, a literary novel set in the Victorian era with erotic and suspense undertones, from Bantam in October; and Angel's Choice, an earnest YA about teen pregnancy from Simon & Schuster in December. I'm also a contributor to the Jane Austen fiction/nonfiction anthology Flirting With Pride & Prejudice and editor/contributor of the anthology This IS Chick-Lit, due out from BenBella Books in the fall. I live in Danbury, CT, with my wonderful husband Greg and my equally wonderful daughter Jackie.

I am 7 years old and I have read the whole Sisters 8 series. I think that this book deserves at least a zillion stars if not lots more. The books are so good that it would be nice if there were even more. I like how Petal is a scaredy-cat. It is funny how she hides under her bed. Everybody in the world should have a copy!!!

All 3 of my kids greatly enjoy this series. I was worried at first, as the sisters question if their parents are dead (as they disappear in the first book), if it would be too scary a concept for my children. However, my kids were never bothered by that and are anxiously awaiting the next book in the series.

I bought this book for my granddaughter. She is 8 years old and a voracious reader. She has read each one and loves them. She is also a buddiing author and uses the sisters books for inspiration. I found out about these books from my niece, a 4th grader who brought the first two home from the school library. She also loves these books, especially the part about no parents! I would recommend this series to all young girls who like fantasy and adventure.
