Seven year old Emma thinks it is incredibly unfair that her parents are going away for five whole days. She and her older brother Zachary are being left in the care of their Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Eliot, two adults who seem to know absolutely nothing about children.
Emma quickly realizes that her aunt and uncle are obsessed with rules. They have strict rules for eating broccoli, rules for sleeping, and rules for keeping things perfectly clean. Emma, however, has her own set of rules, which mostly involve making messes and refusing to eat vegetables. Determined to fix the situation, Emma decides to teach these clueless adults exactly how parenting is supposed to work.
As you read about their five chaotic days together, you will laugh at Emma's bold lessons and watch this temporary family figure each other out. This short, hilarious chapter book proves that love is much more important than a perfectly tidy house.
