Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "Hello, my name is Rosaria, but everyone calls me Rose. Before we begin the story, I had better tell you a bit about my family. If you've ever thought your family was crazy, don't worry. They're not. Not as crazy as mine, anyway. First, there are way more of us than you'll find in most families: Ten of us if you include our pets. Eighteen if you include the chickens. Infinity if you include all the people who take up residence in our House of Madness from time to time."--Back cover.Summary: With both realism and humor, this compelling and heartwarming novel describes, in first-person narrative, the joys and the challenges of a modern English family. They are unique in many ways--for one thing, all of the six children are competitive figure skaters, and for another, they have a pet alpaca. Yet, they weather the storms of life with the same sometimes clumsy attempts at patience and understanding found in most families.
