The Story of a second hand child!

Poor Leona! 'Middle Child' is hardly an appropriate title for this feisty young heroine. Leona wants so much to be treated like a 'Grown Up',but having an elder sister like the very distinguished Victoria, with her round lavender plastic frames and her perfect dive, or a little brother like Albert,who flushes his underwear down the lavatory, that isn't easy. So, armed with her lavender purse Leona takes on the world with her face clean from any trace of make-up and her hair full of conditioner.An exceptionally good story for anyone who enjoyed Ramona Quimby or Henry Huggins. A 5 star job without question!
