Four highly spirited and unusual (one daren't say odd!), sisters are exiled to their grandma in Cumbria for the long summer holiday. Big Grandma is without a doubt the old block from which the girls were chipped. After unpromising beginnings certain understandings are reached, compromises made and each wayward character, young and old, developed. This Guardian Award winner, with its unique humour and gently unravelling plot, is a first novel that suggests good reads in the future.
