Book summary

Henry's summer is overtaken by a crazed road trip with his two dreaded child-hating, interior decorating aunts, Magnolia (Mag) and Pigg (a family name). When his mother goes haring off to Africa bent on being a missionary, with his disbelieving father in tow, Henry is left at home with Mag and Pigg, who decide it's time to see the world. Their experiences range from the deeply unpleasant--a jellyfish attack--to the extraordinarily difficult--being stranded on a raft in a national park. Henry gets to know his aunts better than he ever thought possible. Polly Horvath is both a Newbery Honor Book medalist and a National Book Award recipient.
