Sassy and her sparkle sack are back for another adventure with an ecology theme!
It's summer vacation, and Sassy and her family are headed to Florida to visit Grammy for her birthday. A huge celebration is planned at Grammy's beach house. Sassy can't wait!
But the weather reports say a hurricane is swirling in the Atlantic, and could be coming right toward Grammy's town.
So much for family fun-everyone's too busy boarding up their houses and stocking up on food. To make matters worse, the local sea turtles' lives are threatened, there's no electricity, stores are closed, and there's no birthday cake.

Additional works include FORGED BY FIRE, TEARS OF A TIGER, and THE BATTLE OF JERICHO, all Coretta Scott King Honor Books. Sharon is also the author of the middle-grade Sassy series, including LITTLE SISTER IS NOT MY NAME, THE BIRTHDAY STORM, THE SILVER SECRET, and THE DAZZLE DISASTER DINNER PARTY. A highly respected educator and speaker, Sharon was the 1997 National Teacher of the Year.
With the exciting drama of being holed up during a hurricane, this second title in the lively series about Sassy, nine, follows her African American family as they fly from Ohio to Florida to celebrate her beloved Grammy’s birthday. Suspense builds as a huge storm gets close, but just as powerful is Sassy’s discovery of a sea turtle’s nest, which she moves with the help of a biologist. Told in Sassy’s first-person, present-tense voice, the mix of family love and friction and the elemental nature facts will grab even newcomers to the series. Grades 2-4. --Hazel Rochman
