Funny and tender, this beautifully illustrated tale follows Maisie Moo, a youngster who lives with her parents in a place called Gone Bonkers Discount Palace. Children will relate to Maisie's plight as a child who won't help with the chores and is perhaps a bit mischievous too. She shares her troubles and joys with her invisible friend, Lucy, and longs for her father, a truck driver who is often away from home. Time and time again parents will enjoy sharing this gentle examination of family life with kids.
