Back in Africa after a month's visit with Granny Canada, Anna Hibiscus
finds that some things are different--but her home is just as full of
love--in this fifth warm and funny chapter-book adventure.
When Anna Hibiscus returns to her big house in Nigeria after visiting
her Canadian grandmother, it seems like so much has changed. Her baby
brothers, Double and Trouble, have learned to run, while Grandfather
looks older and smaller. Anna had been nervous about going to Canada,
where everything was new and strange, but she didn't expect coming home
to be difficult, too. What if her family doesn't love her as much as
before? Meanwhile, the household hen has hatched all but one egg, which
Anna keeps warm until a white ball of fluff appears . . . right in her
hand! She names her now-constant companion Snow White, but the chick
wreaks havoc wherever it goes. How can Anna possibly keep it out of
trouble? Luckily, a surprise arrives at the compound to take Anna's mind
off her troubles: a visitor who's come all the way from Canada!
