YOUNGER FICTION
Jules, Jacqueline

Lights Out

(4) 1-3 Sofia Martinez series. Illustrated by Kim Smith. Whether Sofia is saving the day with the board games she packed for the (rainy) beach trip or finding a unique way to illuminate her family's house during a power outage, the young Hispanic American girl "always make[s] things interesting." Still, Sofia's spunk and cleverness aren't really enough to raise the stakes in these lightweight stories. Spanish phrases are peppered liberally throughout. Glos. Review covers the following Sofia Martinez titles: The Beach Trip and Lights Out.
