BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL

APPEALS TO: SOME

Claudia has a sister that she thinks is just plain sticky.  Her sister is ALWAYS around even when Claudia wants time with her friends and her own personal time.  Frustration gets the best of Claudia and she decides to tell a white lie to her sister after they invite her to tag along to Claudia's soccer tournament.  Claudia ends up getting herself into a literal sticky situation and there is a somewhat silly consequence. 

Sticky Hermana is a fun story that many sisters will be able to relate to.  I had a laugh at the funny surprise ending that I think children will enjoy and realize there are consequences to actions. This would be a good book to hand to English Language learners who are trying to identify with books since it includes  a lot of Spanish words. Mom and Sisters are Hispanic.
