What is a family?
"A family is a close-knit unit of kin that strives to love, care and work with its members as a team."
That's what the dictionary says.
But a dictionary is just a book, and what does a book know about real life?
In Number Four Maple Road, there is a lot more rivalry and payback than teamwork. After all, five siblings with utterly different personalities living under one not-so-big roof was never going to be easy. Everyone knows that. They just didn't expect it to be so hard!
"A delightful story of growing up and realising that those around you will always play a part in your life."
Thank you to the amazing @ShwetaChp for designing the cover. Your work is beautiful.

ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY
When life's going gets tough, always remember the road that leads home. We all need someone to lean on. Family isn't always defined by blood, it's defined by loyalty, faithfulness and trust.

You miss them don't you? Your Dad, your mum, uncle and aunt. Siblings, cousins; the name is yours to define. This book aims to give back what's lost, and help us become whole, united and unbreakable. To look beyond rage and fury, and see that humanity isn't perfect. Things are messed up but we can all have "One Big Happy Family."![Her Road To Go [UNEDITED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/237536137-256-k911957.jpg)
Her Road To Go [UNEDITED]
She lives her life to the fullest, loved by everyone in her home, where she is constantly supported and cheered for. Yet, there's a part of her that feels empty, a feeling she can't quite explain. After all, life isn't all rainbows and sunshine; it's also thunder and lightning that remind us to truly appreciate what we have. She feels content with everything she has until, one day, her guardians have to let her go to fill that emptiness in her heart. That longing is to meet her real family-a family who still secretly mourns her absence. Her family, her brothers, who are willing to do anything just to find her. What will she feel? Do you think she will accept them? Do you think she's welcome in their family? Read at your own risk. Warning: This story contains grammatical errors and swearing.
