Description
The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry is a humorous tale about four siblings who concoct an evil plan to get rid of their parents. The children, Timothy and twins Barnaby A and B, as well as their sister Jane, are fond of old-fashioned adventures but dislike their parents equally. In this playful parody, both parents and children have dastardly ideas and tricks up their sleeves. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that neither side has a clear idea of what lies between them and a happily-ever-after. This hilarious tale pays homage to classic works of children's literature, complete with a cheeky glossary and bibliography. Now available as a Netflix animated film, this entertaining book is well suited to readers who enjoy humorous stories about family and friendship.
