While their parents tour Paris for a week, Melissa, Amanda, and Frank (aka Pee Wee) finally meet their Aunt Sally who watches them. She fills their time together sharing stories about their extended family . . .stories that their father (Aunt Sally's youngest brother) has never shared.
Each chapter is dedicated to a different story with the ongoing urge for her tell the story about the trolls on Vancouver Island.
The word choice is well selected and the book is well written. I skipped some paragraphs while reading this aloud to my seven year old because I thought some of the stories were not appropriate or a bit horrifying.
Warning: one swear word; talks about Wiccas; some descriptions how people died
