About This Book

A ten-year-old girl, Jootje van Vorden—called Puck—moves into a new household and alternates between impulsive mischief and sensitive sulks as she negotiates family life. Domestic episodes, including a kitchen mishap, clashes with household staff, teasing from siblings, and drifting school friendships, reveal how small grievances and misunderstandings shape her feelings and conduct. The narrative offers close, sympathetic scenes of everyday childhood, portraying both stubbornness and tenderness while adults respond with patience, and traces the gradual adjustments of a child seeking belonging amid routine family interactions.
