Description

Award winning author Ann MacDonald shares funny, touching stories about growing up during the second World War, as she matures from a carefree nine-year-old into a tougher and wiser teenager.

Ann sets off on her scooter every week to fetch a fresh bunch of poppies for her mother.

Mrs Harris comes to clean, relieving Ann from her dusting duties and providing tantalising gossip about her other ladies.

Ann is evacuated to a country town and wonders why her parents have abandoned her.

Uncle Ezra rescues mouldy cake and scolds the girls for giving muesli to the chooks.
