What has gotten into Lena?It’s summer 2009, and friends Lena, Angie, Sassy, and Ruthie form the “Soul Sisters” to stop Mr. Santiago from buying their beloved Linden Park and turning it into a used car lot and liquor store. Along the way, the girls dodge snooping parents, a money-hungry neighbor, and one violent borough hall official. Will Santiago get his grimy paws on Linden Park? Not with the Soul Sisters on the case. In the end, the park is saved and the Soul Sisters establish themselves as a team that can fight—and win—for their neighborhood.
