Boar’s Sister Junior

In Boar’s Sister Junior, we are introduced to Junior, The Boar family’s newest member, and Boar’s adorable younger sister. During a trip that took Boar and her parents to a location that was reminiscent of a rainforest. After having lunch, with a Dad Joke sprinkled in, Boar and her mother are at a stuffed toy bin to purchase a souvenir of their trip when Boar happens to notice something moving within the bin.

Once the mother sticks her hand in, a small green stuffed gecko comes crawling up her arm. When her mother looks at the nametag that is attached to the stuffed gecko, they discover that the name on it is “Gus,” which also was the father’s name. Soon after, the family of three becomes a family of four, with the Gecko being named Gus Junior, or just Junior.

Thanks to being a gecko, Junior can scale heights that Boar and her family can’t reach, which Boar briefly exhibits envy over, but in time shows that she loves her sister’s ability. Along with her ability to defy gravity, Junior is not only a faster walker, but she is also a fast talker, which Boar had to train her to talk more slowly for everyone around her.

We also learn that while Boar tends to dress more conservatively like her father with a basic shirt and pants/shorts, Junior adores dresses with unicorns on them. However, the biggest thing that we learn in Book Three is that Junior looks up to her big sister, often shadowing or mimicking Boar, to the point of dressing like her.

The book concludes with Boar exhibiting displeasure at Junior clinging to her like glue. However, once her parents explained why Junior was acting this way, Boar understood and accepted her responsibility and came to accept Junior as her sister, showing her growth into becoming a big sister.

Junior is a delight to read and learn about through Boar’s eyes throughout Book Three and we also get further insight into Boar as a character, with her showing jealousy and frustration with her new and radically different younger sister. We also get a chance to see Boar come into her own as an older sister in teaching Junior how to move slower for her family and also her ingenuity by making signs for her sister to see to teach her as well.

This growth would come in handy in Book Four.

The Boar Family Series is a very heartwarming, imaginative, and tender series that is a great addition to your children’s bookshelf and it earns a recommendation from me. ★★★★ – Elijah B. (Explore Authors Magazine)
