About This Book

A spirited young girl recounts episodic, humorous adventures in her small coastal town, from market-place schemes and pranks to schooldays, festive bonfires, sleighing and a near-drowning, and neighborhood mishaps. The narrative moves through domestic scenes, play-acting, holidays, and encounters with curious neighbors and siblings, balancing comic mischief with moments of fright and tenderness. Episodes highlight childhood resourcefulness, community rituals, and everyday sights of harbor life, rendered in lively, colloquial voice and brief, self-contained chapters that mix anecdote, embarrassment, and warm affection.
