A splendid story for eights to elevens about Drucilla the kind of plucky, asertive heroine, in the mould of Ramona, that American women writers depict so well, Dru is fed up with the patterned and predictable nature of her life - and with the adults who are a stodgy lot. She decides to make some changes, and learns that maybe the things she takes for granted do have some value. A smashing cast of characters, not least Dru's quirky relations and her tomboy friends.
