Description

Rediscover Puffin Classics. An entirely new package bringing the best-loved stories to a new generation. Katy Carr intends to be beautiful and beloved and as sweet as an angel one day. For now, though, her hair is forever in a tangle, her dress is always torn and she doesn't care at all for being called 'good'. But then a terrible accident happens and Katy must find the courage to remember her daydreams and the delightful plans she once schemed; for when she is grown up she wants to do something grand . . . A wonderful, family story, with an inspiring introduction from Cathy Cassidy.
