Bookroo's summary

Emma eagerly anticipates the arrival of her adopted brother, Max, envisioning an ideal sibling bond. However, Max's aversion to sisters, especially Emma, challenges her expectations. As Emma navigates this unexpected dynamic, she must discover what it truly means to be a sister. Can she bridge the gap and transform their rocky start into a genuine connection? This heartwarming tale explores the complexities of family and the journey to understanding and acceptance.

From the publisher

Emma has always wanted a little brother. Now her family is adopting Max, and Emma is sure he will be the best brother ever. But Max has his own ideas. He thinks sisters are yucky, and that Emma is the yuckiest! Is this really what having a brother is all about? In Jean Little’s warmhearted, perceptive story about adoption, Emma learns that there is more to having a little brother than she had ever guessed – and that in order to get the brother she wants, she must first learn to be the sister he needs.
