Synopsis

Katy Carr is untidy, tall and gangling and lives with her brothers and sisters planning for the day when she will be “beautiful and beloved, and amiable as an angel”.

An accidental fall from a swing seems to threaten her hopes for the future, but Katy struggles to overcome her difficulties with pluck, vitality and good humour.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'I mean to do something grand. I don't know what, yet; but when I'm grown up I shall find out'

Katy Carr is the longest girl that was ever seen. She is all legs and elbows, and angles and joints. She tears her dress every day, hates sewing and doesn't care a button about being called 'good'. Her head is full of schemes and one day she plans to do something important. But a great deal is to happen to Katy before that time comes...

Includes exclusive material: In 'The Backstory' you can find out which character you most resemble and learn how to make a pin cushion.
