Here is the young single girl leaving her parents’ home for life in the big city (“No I do not believe in free love/And yes I will be home for Sunday dinners”).
Whether she’s finding herself or finding a sitter, contemplating her sex life as she rubs hormone night cream on her face, or wrestling with the contradiction of falling in love with a man her parents would actually approve of, Viorst transforms the familiar events of daily life into poems that make you laugh with recognition. She even tricks one of them into carrying both of their backpacks up a mountain! Then some BITs (brothers-in-training) from the neighboring Camp Brotherhood start picking on Lulu’s siblings, and Lulu responds by doing her red-faced, steam-coming-out-of-her-ears thing and showing those BITs who’s boss! After all, Lulu’s siblings may be duds, but they’re her duds, and sisters have to stick together.īringing together some of the best of Judith Viorst’s witty and perceptive poetry-and featuirng the illustrations from the original edition by John Alcorn-Viorst explores the all-too-true ironies and absurdities of being a woman in the modern world. Well, no one ever said Camp Sisterhood was supposed to teach Lulu how to be a good big sister, so Lulu resolves to be a bad big sister.
As a Sister-in-Training (SIT), Lulu is assigned a variety of temporary little “siblings” who are supposed to be so much fun Lulu will become excited to have a permanent sibling of her own. Undeterred, and to prepare Lulu for big sisterhood, her parents bribe-AHEM, ask-Lulu to attend Camp Sisterhood, a.k.a. But she’ll tell you anyway, because she no how, no way, no thank you wants a sibling. No one ever asked HER opinion on this debacle.
