Lulu is getting the sister she never asked for in this oh-so-funny
illustrated chapter book filled with hilarious hijinks and fiesty twists
from Judith Viorst.
Lulu has received the worst. News. EVER. She's getting...a baby sister.
No one ever asked HER opinion on this debacle. But she'll tell you
anyway, because she no how, no way, no thank you wants a sibling.
Undeterred, and to prepare Lulu for big sisterhood, her parents
bribe--AHEM, ask--Lulu to attend Camp Sisterhood, a.k.a. big sister
training camp. As a Sister-in-Training (SIT), Lulu is assigned a variety
of temporary little "siblings" who are supposed to be so much fun Lulu
will become excited to have a permanent sibling of her own. Well, no one
ever said Camp Sisterhood was supposed to teach Lulu how to be a good
big sister, so Lulu resolves to be a bad big sister. She insults her
little siblings. She taunts them with secrets. She even tricks one of
them into carrying both of their backpacks up a mountain!
Then some BITs (brothers-in-training) from the neighboring Camp
Brotherhood start picking on Lulu's siblings, and Lulu responds by doing
her red-faced, steam-coming-out-of-her-ears thing and showing those BITs
who's boss! After all, Lulu's siblings may be duds, but they're her
duds, and sisters have to stick together.
