"Classic storytelling at its best, delightful and moving. I loved it." M. G. Leonard, author of Beetle Boy
Maria Parr's second novel is a hilarious and heart-warming story about
family and friendship that will delight fans of Pippi Longstocking.
Astrid
Glimmerdal loves to spend her days racing down the mountainside on her
sledge and skis - the faster the better! She just wishes there were
other children to share in her adventures.
Instead, she has to put up
with a grumpy 74 year old for a best
friend (although secretly, she
knows she wouldn't have it any other
way).
Astrid's world is
about to be turned upside down, however, first
by the arrival of a
strange
family, and then a mystery woman. Her best
friend, Gunnvald,
has been
keeping a secret from her - one that will
test their
friendship to its limits. Everything is changing in Astrid's world and
she's not happy about it. Luckily, she has a plan...
A feisty and
irrepressible heroine, Astrid is sure to charm readers in this modern classic in the making.
