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.
