О книге: What Katy Did (Coolidge Susan); Virago, 2017

'One of my all-time favourite books. It's a very lively, funny story' Jacqueline Wilson Katy has grand plans to be beautiful, graceful and ladylike ... one day! But for now she has hair that is always tangled, bootlaces undone, a torn dress and she doesn't care about being 'good'. With a wild imagination and high spirits, she is always up to mischief, but there never has been a heroine as lovable as Katy. Then a terrible accident happens and it takes all her courage - and hard-learned patience - to keep her dreams alive. 'Katy speaks with a charm and directness that remains as fresh as when it was written' Amanda Craig 'This was one of my favourite books as a child. The children felt real enough to touch, and I fell head over heels in love with Katy.
