Every year when Brie had a birthday, mama would write Brie letters for a treasure hunt. But Mama dies three years ago and this year there will again be no letter. The old letters that mom wrote are now Brie's favorite memories of Mama. Nana has invited a lot of people to Brie's birthday party, even people she never talks to. Everyone is dressed in their best, and the table is heaped high with all kinds of food, even a three-tiered cake! The party goes better than Brie expected and Nana has one last, very special gift for Brie.
I love the story of Brie and her family. It pulled at my heartstrings and made me cry and laugh. It is well written, full of emotion, and great family support. You will have to read it for yourself to see if Brie can figure out Mama's clues and find the treasure at the end. The story is full of adventure and great and wonderful discoveries. Brie and her family are African American.
