A new baby and Aunt Irene's visit disrupt Adine's world.
Ten-year-old Adine is used to the chaos of her four sisters, but the arrival of a new baby and eccentric Aunt Irene turns her world upside down. As the family prepares for the newborn, Adine faces unexpected changes and challenges. With Aunt Irene sharing her room, nothing goes as planned, leaving Adine to navigate a whirlwind of surprises. Will she find her place amidst the upheaval, or will the chaos prove too much? Discover how Adine copes with the unexpected in this heartwarming tale of family and adaptation.
The Vorlob family is getting ready for the new baby, soon to arrive. The preparations include painting a mural in the baby’s nursery and making a list of possible names. Since ten-year-old Adine already has four younger sisters, she is used to the routine. This time, however, the routine is broken – in more ways than one. The biggest change is that Aunt Irene will be staying with the Vorlobs until Adine’s mother is back on her feet. Aunt Irene arrives, as does the baby, but nothing else goes quite as expected. Especially for Adine!
