Chloe feels misunderstood among his people: his mother has eyes for her younger sister, Annabelle, an abominable little pest. His father disappears or stash in the closet under the stairs for not confess to his wife his terrible secret. It has also just launched his political career with a program reducing the freedom of each to zero. A real terror.
Anyway, it's a completely broken family, in which Chloe finds it has no place. Mr. Kipu is his only friend, the one who listens and understands. It's a little guardian angel, because it will restore order in Crouton and provide a sense of peace and happiness found. This story is thus a mix of crazy situations around sensitive issues such as exclusion, lack of confidence and loneliness. The talent of D. Walliams is, of course, never stopping ambience and prove that we can deal with serious things by putting humor there. Top toupee effect ascertained, as would the other.
