Her baby brothers, Double and Trouble, have learned to run, while Grandfather looks older and smaller. When Anna Hibiscus returns to her big house in Nigeria after visiting her Canadian grandmother, it seems like so much has changed. Back in Africa after a month’s visit with Granny Canada, Anna Hibiscus finds that some things are different-but her home is just as full of love-in this fifth warm and funny chapter-book adventure.
