Sisters Impossible
J.D. Landis
- Reading
- Read together or check in after the early sister interactions. Let the child lead on what feels important, then revisit how the sisters work together as the story unfolds.
- Themes
- Sisterhood and support: Lily thinks Saundra is embarrassed by her, while Saundra has concerns about her own ballet prospects; the sisters eventually make a deal. The premise brings sibling assumptions and possible cooperation together, but does not establish how the relationship is ultimately portrayed.
- Competition and rivalry: Saundra hopes for an opening in a ballet company and is competing against Meredith, described as nasty. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The overview describes Lily as chubby and clumsy, and presents Saundra’s rival as nasty. These details may be worth noticing when discussing appearance and unkind behaviour.
