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. Sheās gettingā¦a baby sister. No one ever asked HER opinion on this debacle. But sheāll 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 bribeāAHEM, askāLulu 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 āsiblingsā 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 Luluās siblings, and Lulu responds by doing her red-faced, steam-coming-out-of-her-ears thing and showing those BITs whoās boss! After all, Luluās siblings may be duds, but theyāre her duds, and sisters have to stick together.
