Brown Sugar and Spice is a riotous romp through colonial days during World War II as seen through the eyes of young Harriet. One may imagine that the war had no impact on Harriet’s life–but it did. One may think there was no turmoil or terror on those tranquil islands–but there was. And yet, despite these uncertainties, life went on…
Laugh out loud at Harriet’s hilarious antics as she moves among various islands in the West Indies. In this lively tale Harriet experiences malaria, wards off evil spirits, wakens to a German attack, builds a tree house village, terrorises teachers, spies on adults, captures thieves and ultimately saves the day.
