(1) 4-6 When Dad's sister comes to baby-sit Melissa, Amanda, and Pee Wee, she shows Pee Wee the respect his older sisters withhold but doesn't directly reprimand them for their behavior. Instead, Aunt Sally tells them wild, enormously entertaining family tales, which hold a hidden warning as they hint at why she and their father do not have a close relationship. A surprisingly poignant undercurrent adds even greater depth to this skillfully written comic novel.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann | Horn Book Magazine Issue: July, 1999
