What if your best friends lived right next door? Meet the Kwon cousins! A day with the Kwons promises adventure, surprises, and laughs in this new illustrated series for young readers by Jessica Kim.
Five cousins. One missing parrot. No parents. What could go wrong?
When Jia volunteers to babysit her cousins while their parents attend a wedding, she's determined to show how responsible she is, even if she's small for her age. But it's difficult to manage everyone's personalities and her own expectations. After her brother Eugene's pet parrot goes missing, a calm night turns into a cousin adventure across town! Can Jia get the Kwon crew back home before the adults return?
Meet the Kwon Cousins, a new series by Jessica Kim, with illustrations by Victoria Ying. On their sunny San Diego cul-de-sac, adventure is always next door. Eugene (7) secretly keeps a zoo's worth of rescue pets. Twins Mina and Minji (8) hatch plans from their tree house. Nick (10) investigates every bump in the night, and Jia (11) tries to keep all her cousins in line. Even when the Kwon cousins bicker about the best way to unstick a head wedged in the stairs, they always know they can solve any problem if they work together.
