A TALE OF TWO SISTERS FROM THE BRONX SISTERS BY FRAN LEWIS

 This is a collection of stories to remind young people that sisters are best friends forever!

We grew up as Marcia and Fran. My sister was beautiful, thin and talented. She has the lead in productions of Broadway Shows in our school. These are true stories. Marcia was a ray of sunshine on a stormy day. She was rare. Never saying a negative word about anyone, always looking for the positive in people. No matter how difficult the problem, she figured out the solution. Sometimes the solution would make you smile and other times double over laughing.

This is the 1st book I've read written by Fran Lewis; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.

Bertha and Tille are sisters and poles apart when it comes to personality traits. Tille is a looker, very sociable and her physical functions are normal. While, Bertha is physically un-coordinated and awkward. Despite the several issues that she is facing and the way in which people tease and mock her, Bertha gets through the rough times armed only with her good sense of humor and a sharp attitude.

With this beautiful story, the author wants to tell us how being an achiever and accomplishing something is not the only thing, the person you are on the inside also matters a lot. This book has a positive and uplifting message for all children. And if you have two little girls of your own then this book can teach both of them a good lesson.

It will set them free from issues like peer pressure, self esteem problems and teach them how to handle dilemmas in life. If you want your kid to grow up having a kind heart and sound mind then this story would be a wonderful pick. It's a good lesson in tolerance, hard word and how to keep up when everyone is trying so hard to let you down. It will teach your kids to buck up and handle peer pressure. Above all, it highlights the importance of respect and self worth.
