About This Book

A thirteen-year-old girl known as the judge's daughter narrates a series of lively, episodic adventures in her small Norwegian town. She describes travel mishaps, neighborhood characters, pets and pranks, holiday mumming, schooldays, household incidents, and country journeys that lead to both comic troubles and narrow escapes. The first-person accounts combine domestic detail and rural customs with child-sized crises—lost money, being left behind, locked rooms, and getting lost in the woods—delivered with humor, plain observation, and a focus on family, friends, and the small dramas of growing up.
