This chapter book gives the young reader a sense of what it was like to live in the 1950's, first in the suburbs and then on a ranch. As the first book in this series, the reader will meet Sis's parents, grandparents, her older brother, and finally her newborn baby brother. Sis experiences a range of "growing up" experiences and emotions, all within the loving circle of her family.
With a caring heart to guide her, Sis finds it all too easy to displease her parents with her adventures. She is quite aware that she often gets herself into trouble, but she continues to logically determine what she can do, with almost always disastrous results.
