Annie’s Adventures: The Sisters 8, Book 1

After the Huit octuplets' parents disappear, the eight girls find an anonymous note that reads, "[Y]ou must each discover both your power and your gift in order to reveal what happened to your parents." Attempting to keep up appearances, the sisters assume their parents' responsibilities. This task becomes much easier when Annie, the eldest sister, realizes her power: she's capable of managing the household like an adult. Many challenges remain, though, from learning how to drive to confronting a horrid neighbor who tries to steal Mrs. Huit's scientific research. Black-and-white illustrations.
