Nelly and the Quest for Captain Peabody

Learn to juggle china cups? Of course!

Live on lemons for a month? Why not?

Set out in a boat with knitted sails to find her long-lost father, with only her turtle Columbus for company? Absolutely!

And she won't let anything get in her way . . .

Readership : 7-9. If you like Pippi Longstocking, you'll love Nelly Peabody.
