Ruth, Naomi, Rachel, and Phoebe Conroy, avid readers and enthusiasts of endless fun, are utterly devastated when their parents inform them that they will be spending the summer in Cumbria, staying with their intimidating grandmother, Big Grandma. Big Grandma is strict, assigns them tedious chores, and strictly forbids them from reading books. Undeterred by their grandmother's harsh regime, the sisters resolve to make the most of their summer. However, their rebellious actions inadvertently lead to widespread chaos. As they seek alternatives to Big Grandma's way of life, the girls gradually begin to appreciate its charm, while Big Grandma also begins to understand and appreciate them.
