Aunt Effie’s Ark – Jack Lasenby

It’s about Aunt Effie who goes into hibernation and her 26 neices and nephews have to look after the house and there’s a flood but luckily they have painted the house and barn so they float and they save people.

My favourite bit was when they save Jack Lasenby and Harry Wakatipu.
