QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this is a lighthearted, happy look at middle school and family life. There's no questionable content.
What's the story?
Sassy Simone Sanford is the smallest in her class. She's the youngest in her family, and everyone calls her "Little Sister." She's got wild, unruly hair, and she has to wear a boring blue and white uniform to school every day. That's the bad news. The good news is that she has a super cool grandma, a big imagination, and her sparkly "Sassy Sack" that's filled to the brim with goodies and what-nots that are sure to get her out of any jam. Her family always finds themselves in an interesting and sometimes scary situation, but as long as they have each other they know they'll be OK.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the importance of being honest with the people you love. Sassy and her siblings learn there are times to speak up and express your feelings.
Is there something your family or friends do that bugs you? Have you ever told them? Why or why not?
Do you have an item that you take with you everywhere? Sassy has her sassy sack, how does having it make her feel? How does your special item make you feel?

Sassy book 1 review
I think that "Sassy" in this book is showing that she is angry that her and her size is different and is annoyed that she is refered to "little sister" meaning that she is not only the youngest of three but the shortest in her class but at the end she make a differentsby saving her parents out of a slimly open elavator and calls for help with the help of her special bag known as her "sassy sack" and is in the news paper the next morning.I think this book shows that sassy is not only brave but confedent.
