A review by ljrinaldi
Operation Sisterhood by Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich

4.0

This is the story of Bo, who’s mother marries Bill, who already has a daughter, about her age. Bill lives in a brownstone, in Harlem, with another couple, who also have two girls. So it is very much a blended family. And Bo has to go from being a single child, to being part of a sisterhood of four.

There are wonderful details about Harlem sprinkled throughout the book, and because the sisters are all freeschooled, a form of home schooling where the girls all do projects, such as sewing or baking, or researching local history, Bo is doing school all summer long, whether she wants to or not. She even gets to go on a tour of Louis Armstrong’s house, as part of her research.

The girls are into music, and Bo, who likes to do drums, fits right in, that aspect.

It is a fun, story, full of both liking to be in a full household with her “sisters” and wanting things to be the way they used to be when it was just her mother and her.

THanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
