She's a demon child She's not meek and mild She's wild! Kate has a problem. It's called Wild Thing. Wild Thing is Kate's little sister. Kate's tried to get her rid of her, but the problem is no-one else would have her. When Wild Thing's not getting things stuck up her nose, she's biting people's bottoms and scaring the neighbours. All in all, she's a pain in the bum - quite literally. So when it's time for Wild Thing to start school, Kate is understandably nervous - especially when Wild Thing comes downstairs dressed in her favourite Rock Chick outfit (complete with wig...). On her first day at school Wild Thing: refuses to sit down, plays air guitar while the other children are singing sweetly, and chops her hair off in Arts and Crafts. She's so wild she even gets into the local newspaper! But when an intruder breaks into their house late at night, Kate realises it might not be such a bad thing having a wild sister after all. In fact, she quite likes having her around. One thing's for sure, there's nobody quite like Wild Thing.
