Cami and Kat and the Carrot Girl

Grete Bravo’s charming new children’s mystery follows two sisters, Cami and Kat, as they struggle to adjust to their parents’ divorce and their move to a new neighborhood.

Timid Cami and adventurous Kat are unhappy. They both wish for something exciting to happen in their dreary new home. One day, their wish comes true. The two sisters meet Siggy, the carrot girl, an eccentric outcast at their school. Their classmates are afraid of her and convinced she has special powers. When Cami and Kat meet Siggy, they realize that she, like everyone else, just wants friends. Siggy lets them play with her little dog, Plet, and teaches them about growing their own vegetables. The sisters love hanging out with Siggy in her garden and helping her feed her farm animals.

As the three grow closer, Cami and Kat discover a secret about Siggy’s family. If they don’t act in time, Siggy could disappear from their lives forever!

Bravo, who grew up in Svendborg, Denmark, includes Danish vocabulary to expand children’s horizons and teach them about other people and cultures. Cami’s and Kat’s adventures with the carrot girl emphasize universal values of friendship, compassion, and understanding.
