Annie's not your ordinary heroine. She's quirkier, kinder, knows better . . . and always gets things wrong. Luckily her gran's normally there to bail her out—just as well, really, because Mom tends to be off tackling mountains, while Dad's sculpting skyscrapers out of carrots. So whether Annie's buying anteaters for her in-laws, baking birthday surprises for the circus family next door, or doing the laundry . . . in Lapland, you're guaranteed an adventure! Annie is a cracking new character whose stories of everyday events, though rooted in reality, will take you on some fantastic flights of fancy.
