This is a story about life in a middle-class African home. It shows the rarely portrayed simple uncomplicated lives lived by most; there is no war, no abject poverty or other extremes, just a family with simple problems getting on with everyday life which is anything but boring.The best entertainment is real-life family and school drama and there is no shortage of this in 8-year-old Yetunde’s life; she has a strict mother who wants her to be responsible, a father who adores her, and 3 older siblings who are not impressed by her antics, which serve to make sure she always gets her way. So it is no surprise that every event or task, no matter how mundane, somehow manages to become a major drama episode. Chores and errands create opportunities for fun and learning; festivities like Christmas are a much anticipated time of the year when a rare new outfit, straightened hair, and good food are the highlights, and then there are the playground cliques that serve to break the monotony of school life.Well, things are about to get very exciting indeed and Daddy's little girl is going to have a whirlwind of a year. Her mother is up to something and Yetunde is determined to put a stop to it, but her sisters are rooting for their mother and can't wait for Yetunde to be brought down to earth with a thump and finally realise that the world doesn't revolve around her. To make matters worse a new development at school complicates things, so Yetunde has her work cut out for her and not even Daddy can help her this time.
