Laura expects her new baby brother to be just like any other infant: crying, sleeping, and entirely helpless. But when George is only four weeks old, he does something absolutely impossible. He looks right at Laura and speaks to her in complete, perfectly formed sentences. Even more shocking, he sounds exactly like a distinguished, highly educated grown-up trapped in a tiny baby's body. Realizing that adults would completely panic if they found out, Laura decides she must keep George's incredible ability a massive secret. For the next year, the two siblings share private conversations and navigate a series of hilarious, close-call situations as George tries to hide his genius from their clueless parents. But as George's first birthday party approaches, he decides it is finally time to make a grand public debut. This incredibly funny, fast-paced story explores the wild chaos of family life and the hilarious bond between a clever sister and her unnervingly polite baby brother.
