Tola lives in a flat in Lagos, Nigeria with her sister, Moji, who is very clever; her brother, Dapo, who is very fast; and Grandmummy, who is very bossy. Tola proves to be stronger than she seems when she goes to market with Grandmummy!

Aven Green Sleuthing Machine (Aven Green #1)  by Dusti Bowling.
Third-grader Aven Green has been solving mysteries for a whole month-cracking such cases as The Mystery of the Cranky Mom. But can this perceptive detective solve two cases at the same time? First her teacher's lunch bag disappears and then Aven's great-grandma's dog goes missing. Fortunately, since Aven was born without arms, all the "arm" cells went to her super-powered brain instead.

Geraldine Pu and Her Lunch Box, Too!  by Maggie P. Chang.
Meet spunky, funny, and friendly Geraldine Pu as she takes on a bully and makes a new friend. Geraldine Pu's favorite part of school is lunch. She loves her lunch box, which she calls Biandang. She can't wait to see what her grandmother, Amah, has packed inside it each day. Then one day, Geraldine gets stinky tofu...and an unexpected surprise. What will she do?

And Marisol, who has a big imagination and likes to name inanimate objects, has a tree in her backyard she calls Peppina . . . but she's way too scared to climb it. This all makes Marisol the only girl in her small Louisiana town with a mother who was born elsewhere and a father who lives elsewhere (most of the time)-the only girl who's fearful of adventure and fun.Will Marisol be able to salvage her summer and have fun with Jada, her best friend? Maybe.
