About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of a 'big mistake' and is tempted to hide the truth out of fear or shame. It is a perfect choice for siblings who often bicker but need to see the value of uniting during a crisis. The story follows Becky after her pet rats accidentally chew up her sister's bridesmaid dress just two weeks before a family wedding. While the premise is humorous, the emotional core focuses on accountability and the shift from panic to problem-solving. It models how teamwork can mitigate a disaster, even when the initial mistake feels overwhelming. Ideal for ages 7 to 10, this chapter book provides a safe space to discuss honesty, the consequences of negligence, and the power of family support in a relatable, contemporary setting.
