Rosy, Santa's twin sister, is the founder of the Partners, a group of women called Sheroes because of their generosity and bravery. Rosy started the whole idea by rewarding children who are generous or brave with gold medallions. Every story in the Rosy series of eight (so far) books is an adventure about a different version of Rosy, either other ethnicities or people of other countries. There is Rose Bernstein, Rosa Mae Parker, Rosa Linda Sanchez, Rosio of Peru, Rosemary of Ireland, Rosina of Italy, Roselle of France, Rose Sheila of Australia, Rose Ellen of England, and Ruslana of Russia. This first book tells of children in a new town, who get into trouble while trying to help other children. Can Rosy and her Partners rescue them in time? Will anyone end up with a good Christmas, or with a medallion? And who is Fred, anyway? And then there's Milton, Clyde, Chopper, Gustavo, Charlie, Luigi, Francois, Edgar, Sir Martin, and Boris. What do these guys have to do with the Sheroes? These books are appropriate chapter books for early readers, age 5-8. Of course, they are also perfect for reading to grandchildren, age 4 on
