What is The only child club about?

Ryan is tired of being the only child in his class, so he starts the Only Child Club with two friends who understand exactly how he feels. But what would it really be like to have brothers and sisters? The three friends spend several days copying sibling behaviour: arguing, competing over treats and ruining one another’s projects. Their experiment is funny, chaotic and surprisingly revealing. By the end, they discover that friendship can offer many of the joys of family life—without quite so much bickering.
