Third grader Abigail Iris, who comes from a large, budget-conscious family, is jealous of her friends who have no siblings. When she's invited to go on vacation with one of them, she hopes to experience all the delights of being an "only." Unsurprisingly, she discovers that being one of many isn't so bad. Lively black-and-white illustrations display Abigail Iris's spirited nature.
