'JUST IMAGINE...You're baby-sitting a clutch of very unusual eggs and they start to hatch. The whole town wants to meet the imaginary Aunt you invented! You get a phone call from a complete stranger on the other side of the world! A day-old chick thinks you're its mum and won't leave you alone! You will find these and many other hitches inside this book. Mary Steele's tales are packed with everyday people finding themselves in the strangest situations. Sometimes hilarious, often thought-provoking, A Bit of a Hitch is another serving of eccentricity and delights from this award-winning author.' (Publication summary)
