Francie and the Birthday Party ¦ Francie Came to My House ¦ Francie and the TV Play ¦ Francie and the Joke Tellers

These four books cannot be bought separately, so you have to like them all or not at all. Francie is a very disagreeable young lady. She never wants to play what the other children do, she always has something better than they have. In Francie's case, however, this is taken to such an extreme that I'd have had the Ed. Psych. in some time ago. Francie isn't warm enough to appeal despite her behaviour. Naughty heroines (or heros) are tricky things to get right.
