"Anyone who spends time with Cilla Lee-Jenkins will look forward to
reading her in the future." -Booklist, starred review, on
Cilla Lee-Jenkins: Future Author Extraordinaire**
Pricilla "Cilla" Lee-Jenkins has already written a "Bestseller" and a
"Classic"--now it's time for her to write an Epic Story. Epics are all
about brave heroes overcoming Struggles to save the world, and this
year, Cilla is facing her toughest struggles yet:
- Cilla is in fifth grade and, unlike her classmates, not at all
ready to start middle school
- She has two younger sisters to look after now and they don't exactly
get along
- Her beloved grandfather YeYe has had a stroke and forgotten his
English, and it's up to Cilla to help him find his words again
With humor, heart, and her mighty pen Cilla Lee-Jenkins will use her
powers to vanquish every foe (the mean girls in her class), help every
citizen (especially Ye Ye), and save the world.
