Book Summary

Clementine's parents announce they are having another baby, which throws Clementine into a spiral of worry and creative, often disastrous, schemes. She fears losing her special place in the family and tries various ways to cope with the upcoming change, from 'training' her parents to finding new homes for herself or the baby. Eventually, she comes to terms with the idea and even embraces her new role as a big sister.
