Bookroo's summary

Thirteen-year-old Rose Campbell, orphaned and lonely, moves to her great aunts' home, 'Aunt-Hill.' Overwhelmed by six aunts and seven boisterous cousins, Rose struggles to find her place. Guided by her guardian, Uncle Alec, she navigates family dynamics, from Aunt Myra's worries to Aunt Clara's fashion influence. As Rose bonds with her new family, including adopting the housemaid Phebe as a sister, she transforms from timid to bold, learning to cherish her father's memory while embracing a hopeful future. Can Rose find her strength amidst the chaos and love of her newfound family?

From the publisher

Rose Campbell, tired and ill, has come to live at “The Aunt Hill” after the death of her beloved father. Six aunts fussing and fretting over her are bad enough, but what is a quiet 13-year-old girl to do with seven boisterous boy cousins?
