Bart, who read the book aloud to me, fell in love with the book early when a baby is left on the Willoughbys’ doorstep (as, of course, often happens in children’s literature) and the Willoughbys take her to someone else’s house and deposit her on that doorstep, since they think she is not worth bothering about. They leave a little note on the basket noting that, if there is a reward, it should go to the Willoughbys. Then, the oldest brother leaves a little P.S. noting that the baby’s name is “Ruth.” When his siblings ask why, he replies that it’s because “we are the Ruth-less Willoughbys.” Come on – you can’t help but laugh at least a little. There's a close-up of Tim's "mustache". The first is in Tim's Imagine Spot of having one like his ancestors while the last one is a Bait-and-Switch moment, as it's Jane's mustache beginning to grow.

The Willoughby parents hire a realtor to sell the house to potential buyers, but the children scare off all but one family. Linda scares the last family off for them. Tim finally realizes how much Linda cares. However, Orphan Services arrive in response to Tim's call. Heartbroken by Tim's betrayal, Linda leaves in tears, and the Willoughby siblings are forcibly taken away and placed in separate foster homes until their parents return. Tim repeatedly runs away from his well-meaning foster families and runs to the Willoughby home just in time to watch its demolition. Orphan Services decides to detain him in a cell at their Headquarters. From the Newbery Medal-winning author of The Giver and Number the Stars, comes a "hilarious" ( Booklist, starred review) and wonderfully old-fashioned story about a mother and father who are all too eager to be rid of their four children . . . and four children who are all too happy to be rid of their parents. Happily Adopted: Commander Melanoff adopts Ruth when he finds her on the doorstep of his factory. At the end of the story, he and Linda the Nanny adopt the Willoughby children, becoming a loving family in the process. The epilogue has a close-up on a face, with yarn strands as the beginning of a Willoughby mustache like Tim's always wanted.... only to reveal it's Jane's mustache, and Tim is now the only Willoughby without one. It is highly irreverent, and may only be suitable for well read children who are temporarily tired of old fashioned stories and need to laugh a little.After being separated from their siblings, the younger Willoughbys end up in houses like this. The Barnabys are placed in a home where they're left plugged into media streaming from the internet 24/7, while the couple that is supposed to be looking after them remain oblivious using their VR headsets. Jane is put up with a family that "believes in the healing power of music" that spends all their time in a drum circle while ignoring her clear emotional suffering over Tim's betrayal, and having lost her brothers and the first adult who truly cared about any of them. Neither household notices or seems to care when Tim and Nanny come to collect them (although Jane's family does seem to briefly stall Orphan Services to allow them to get away).

Creepy Twins: The Barnabys are a downplayed version of this trope. While not overtly creepy like some other examples of the trope, they do have the occasional moment where they're both played as unsettling (notably when they speak in monotone at the same time, such as when they see a mother figure and go "hi, Mommy."

Neither had a happy foster family, such that the main action of their stories is them dealing with that fact. Wrong Assumption: Upon first glance, Tim and the Barnabys assume that their nanny is a bad one and try to get rid of her, when in reality, she was doing all she could for them. It gets worse after he reads Linda's text response to the Willoughby's parents informing that they're selling the house (to stay on their vacation) and asking her to get rid of their children, with her replying that she would take care of him and his siblings. Tim immediately jumps to conclusions and assumes she's going to act on his parents' words, causing him to call the Orphan Services on her. As it turns out, she wasn't planning anything of the sort and was planning on adopting them, but by then, the Orphan Services had already arrived.The Willoughbys - BRON Studios".
