Oh No, the Aunts Are Here

BOOK SUMMARY

Every family has its special aunt: the cool aunt, the wacky aunt, the scary aunt. But this family has all the aunts.

Shhh, listen. Do you hear that? Oh no. Oh dear. Oh…my…godmother. They’ve traveled on planes, in taxis, and across state lines. And now they’re here at the doorstep, a cheesy gift in one hand, the other poised for a pinch on the cheek. It’s the aunts. The aunts are here.
