A wonderfully warm and wise story about new families and new relationships, set against the backdrop of barge life.
Warm and wise tale about new families. Everyone comments on Meg's sunny smile, and she's put it to good use as a model for her mum's range of bridesmaids' dresses at wedding fairs. It's always been just Meg and Mum, but then Mum meets Danny and is swept off her feet - right onto a grotty old river barge. Soon Meg is discovering the 'joys' of river living in a house full of boys, and there's not much call for her sunshine smile. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8+.
