In this quirky tale by an award-winning author, we meet the Willoughby children – Timothy, his twin brothers Barnaby A and Barnaby B and little sister Jane. They are old fashioned children who adore old fashioned adventures. Unfortunately, the Willoughby parents are not very fond of their children and the truth is that the siblings aren’t too keen on their parents either. When the parents go off on a vacation and leave the kids in the care of a less than ideal nanny, the four discover that their house has been put up for sale as well! Taking inspiration from their storybooks, they work to thwart the parents’ plans and find themselves involved in a series of increasingly absurd escapades. Can the four unique siblings find a way to live happily after ever after all? A story that will appeal to readers who like tales like The Series of Unfortunate Events.
