Grace and Suzie (The Cooper Family Series Book 1)

Nine-year-old Agatha Edwards wrote this book during the summer of 2013. It displays remarkable precocity and imagination and may someday be noted as the book that launched a great American author. In this story, the Cooper family of Minnesota take an orphan on a trip to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Park in Arizona and become lost. The book ties together mystery, danger, and a growing friendship between a girl who has everything (Grace Cooper) and an orphan girl with almost nothing (Suzie Eterna). They bond like sisters and learn from each other that material possessions are nothing when one shares love.
