Seashells, Spice, and Everything Nice

Sara and Destiny seem different at first, but their love of cooking helps them find what else they have in common. Together, they decide to make the world around them a better place. This chapter book written for middle school audiences includes five decodable texts focusing on common two-letter consonant blends. This book is the first of many in development by Storyshares, the goal of which is to create a new shelf in the global library designed to reach even the most left-behind readers in middle school and beyond. It combines key science of reading principles with characters, topics, themes, and imagery built around young adult interests.
