Charlie's family prepares to host a large Thanksgiving dinner; attendees include relatives and friends whom Charlie adores, plus one pesky younger cousin. The story, set within several days, showcases the characters' relatable features and flaws as well as the naturally funny moments between siblings and extended family members. Occasional black-and-white illustrations in ink and watercolor capture this family's familiar quirks.
