This is not one of the authors strong works, and it can't even compare with the others which are thoughtful and well written.

This is a story of a little girl whose parents went away to a conference, leaving her and her brother in the very capable hands of their Aunt and Uncle.

The Aunt and Uncle are non traditional and furthermore, don't dote on every word and action that the little girl does. She seems to be a brat who gets her way, until the relatives put boundaries on her.

Eventually, she grows to love them.

Not recommended. ( )

Emma feel ignored and not being loved by her aunt and uncle when she woke up on the first day after her parents left for vacation. Besides, her brother, Zachary, was not paying attention to her. She dicided to run away and have biscuit at a neighbor's house. After Zachary went looked for her and she spent some get to know her aunt and uncle, she learned things from them such a "different people have different stroke" and they, her aunt and uncle learn things about how to take care of a baby and how to show him/her love and care ( )

It's not fair, Emma thinks, for her parents to go away (for five whole days) and leave her with an aunt and uncle she hardly knows. What if they don't like children? But Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Eliot like Emma and her brother, Zachary, just fine. They also like rules. Rules about: Eating. Sleeping. Cleaning up. Messing up. Emma doesn't believe in rules. Not unless they're hers: Eating no broccoli, dead or alive. Sleeping: No sleeping in a room where night rumbles hide. Cleaning up: Don't. Messing up: Do. Emma can see that Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Elliot have a lot to learn about being parents. But that's okay---because Emma has five whole days in which to teach them. From Amazon
