Jada Jones series - Kelly Starling Lyons (might be a bit easy)

Hello Fellow Book Lovers!

I have a 4th grade teacher who is looking for book suggestions for one of her students.  She would like to find books that have a multicultural cast of characters, could be main character, ok if not.  However, she is looking for books that are not necessarily inner-city settings.

As I reread this request, please know we are trying to serve a population of suburban/rural students who find it difficult to relate to an inner-city setting.  No disrespect intended!!

Finally, this is a student reading between a 3rd and 4th grade level.

Thanks so much for your suggestions.

Bev
