A Surprise at Dancing Fields

Dancing Fields is a special place to live, where doors are never locked, toys are left outside and cars are not allowed wherever children play. All the kids who live there know each other. But even though it's a really cool place to live, things don't always go so perfectly! In A Surprise at Dancing Fields, you'll read about the adventures of four friends, Tali, Andrea, Jennifer and Sand, and a newer resident - Katarina, a shy, ten-year-old girl adopted from Russia. The friends are inseparable, even though Jennifer has a real "mean streak"! One day while playing, the girls discover a turtle laying eggs and promise to protect the eggs until they hatch. And protect they do, from the neighborhood cat to neighborhood boys to flying potatoes (you'll have to read about that!). Over the summer, adventures turn into one serious misadventure - and Katarina comes to the rescue. Thanks to her bravery, she is hailed as a hero. We find out the reason for Jennifer's meanness and watch as she changes for the better. A Surprise at Dancing Fields is all about new beginnings: of hurtful ways replaced with kindness, of acceptance, friendship, gratefulness and (of course!) of the cutest little baby turtles. Join the Dancing Fields friends in this reading adventure!
