    Join the Summerfield sisters for a journey of family, friendship, and football in this first title of the fictional chapter book series designed for elementary-aged girls from Small Publishing.

    Readers will enjoy following the adventures of eight-year-old Madelene Summerfield and her supportive older sister Meredith as they overcome the challenges posed by juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). The Summerfield Sisters book series is designed to help educate young readers on this condition, as well as to encourage them to endure and triumph over the obstacles they face in their life’s journey and to be a friend to those who are struggling.

    In Book 1: Victory in Valdese, Meredith Summerfield is new to Valdese Middle School. She is a quiet and studious eighth grader, and she is also the only one in the whole school who is not at the weekly football games. But it is not a lack of school spirit that keeps her from attending. If only her classmates knew the real story . . .

Small Publishing is a small family-owned business dedicated to providing children, families, and churches with resources designed to educate, equip, and encourage faith development.
