Description

Drusilla is tired of her brothers teasing her and trying to make her cry. She's too clever to show that she cares, but when her favourite toy goes missing, she's had enough. Time to show her brothers who's boss.

Quick Summary

If you have a kid who's ever felt picked on by siblings, this little story about Drusilla will hit home. She puts up with her brothers' teasing day after day, keeping a brave face, but when her favorite toy mysteriously vanishes, she's done being the bigger person and comes up with a clever plan to turn the tables on them. It's got that satisfying "stick it to the bullies" energy that kids love, mixed with a sweet reminder that family drama doesn't last forever. The short length and easy reading level make it perfect for newly independent readers or as a quick bedtime story, and the humor keeps things light even when Drusilla's at her most frustrated. Parents will appreciate that it models standing up for yourself without crossing into mean-spirited territory. Fans of books like "Ivy + Bean" or early chapter books about sibling rivalry will probably gravitate toward this one pretty quickly.
