Have you ever imagined what it would be like to babysit 100 brothers and sisters? Ribburta doesn't think that it will be that hard but what she doesn't realize is just how much trouble 100 siblings can get into.

Ribburta and her friend, Redd, go to see the new fortune-teller. They soon realize the teller is a con artist who is trying to steal all of the squirrels’ nuts by hypnotizing them! They must come up with a plan to stop the squirrels from giving her their nuts. Will they be able to stop her in time?

Ribburta wishes she could be a dancer like the rest of her family, but she has short legs that make it hard for her to dance. After her family is kidnapped by a greedy fox who wants the family to perform for him, she must find a way to trick him into letting her family go.

The hot summer has brought several kinds of trouble to the monastery at Wickit, and Pip the orphan and Perfect the stone gargoyle find themselves up to their eyebrows in it all....
