When Milo's family moves to a new city, he vows to officially retire
from having fun. So he stays inside for days while his little sister,
Georgie, yearns to explore the new neighborhood. Finally, Milo ties
Georgie to the end of a ball of yarn so she can go out, on one
condition: she has to come home when he tugs the string twice.
But one day, Georgie isn't at the end of the string. Which means Milo
might just have to step outside and discover everything he's been
missing. Charming, detailed artwork illustrates their vibrant new city
in this heartwarming story about supporting each other, building
community, adapting to change, and embracing new things.
