“Attention, attention! … Please note that I will be leaving home on the next big ship for a very long journey…”

Pauline, the eldest of a soon-to-be-even-larger family, is tired of the noise and commotion of her family life. She dreams of adventure and self-determination. But, when she announces her departure, no one seems to notice. Would they miss her? Would she miss them?

This tender and engaging graphic novel/picture book hybrid will be enjoyed by any young reader, especially if they struggle to cope with a hectic family life and demanding younger siblings or if they are particularly sensitive to noise and chaos, like Pauline.
