A PUFFIN BOOK: THE BORROWERS

When Ned finds Lady Daisy in his grandmother’s attic, she has been asleep since 1901. He enjoys bringing her up to date, but he also has some lessons of his own to learn. A talking Victorian doll is very useful for school history projects, but, more difficult, Ned has to learn to stand up for himself – especially against Troy Bullock, the school bully.
