'When the newly orphaned Inge Maria arrives on the tiny island of
Bornholm, Denmark, she's not sure what to expect. Her grandmother
is stern and grim, the islanders are reserved and joyless, and at
school the children are not allowed to run wild or express themselves
the way they did in Copenhagen - especially if you're a girl. Inge tries
not to feel sorry for herself, but she misses her mama. And on top of
everything else, mischief has a way of finding her no matter how hard
she tries to be good...
But could it be that a bit of mischief is exactly what Inge's
grandmother and the island of Bornholm need? (Publisher's blurb)
