Synopsis

Mini Mia loves her Uncle Tommy. They hang out in coffee bars, go for walks, swim, and do other fun stuff. But one day Fergus appears in her uncle’s kitchen. Mini Mia does not want to share Tommy with his new boyfriend. She thinks Fergus should go back to where he came from in Scotland. But Fergus doesn’t disappear that easily . . .
 
Quirky watercolor-and-ink pictures accompany this original story about a spunky heroine who learns that three is not always a crowd.

Review:

“Playfully energetic and expressive . . . A real gem.”—Starred, Kirkus Reviews

 “The emotions stay true.”— Publishers Weekly "Playful illustrations...a lightheartedness that will appeal to youngsters."—School Library Journal "Ella is so funnily and resolutely resentful with her dirty tricks and snarky sulking... that audiences will simply revel in the anatomical examination of a nose seriosuly out of joint."—Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books
