Six Little Bunkers at Aunt Jo's
Six Little Bunkers at Aunt Jo's
Six children, one summer, and a whole lot of mischief. The Bunker siblings, Russ, Rose, Laddie, Violet, Margy, and the youngest, Mun Bun, leave Grandma Bell's cozy Maine home for a new adventure at Aunt Jo's Boston house. But before they even arrive, the woods near the shore echo with what sounds like a lost child's voice, and the six little Bunkers find themselves on a whimsical chase through the trees, their hearts bigger than their caution. Each child has a distinct personality that shines through the playful chaos: Laddie leads the way, Rose tends to the others, Russ and Margy barrel forward with energy, Violet observes quietly, and little Mun Bun toddles along eagerly behind. Laura Lee Hope captures something precious about early twentieth-century childhood, that sense of endless summer days, sibling tribes, and the thrill of mysteries worth solving. This is comfort reading at its finest, where danger is never real and the biggest worry is whether they'll find whoever is calling out in the woods. Perfect for readers who long for stories where family is chaos and warmth in equal measure.
