Description
It's 1956 and Lina has won a scholarship to a wonderful girls school. As hard as she tries, fitting into St Brigid's isn't easy - especially when she's the only Italian and the only student from a poor family. When she and her friend Mary have a wonderful idea, everything starts to fall into place - until the class bully gets involved, and Lina's worlds collide. Follow Lina on her adventure in the second of four exciting stories about an imaginative girl with a secret dream, finding her way in a new world.
