Bookroo's summary
Truman's simple request for an ant farm spirals into chaos when aunts, not ants, arrive at his door. Faced with this bizarre mix-up, Truman must adapt quickly, transforming his home into a training ground for these unexpected guests. As the aunts settle in, Truman's life turns upside down, leading to hilarious and unexpected adventures. Can he manage this quirky situation, or will the aunts take over? Dive into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and nothing is as it seems.
From the publisher
When Truman sends away for an ant farm and aunts begin arriving at his doorstep instead, he takes the situation in hand by creating a farm that trains aunts”.Using skewed proportion and perspective, [Karas] fills the pages with frantic activities that enhance and build upon the goofy appeal of the text”. –School Library Journal, starred review.
