Dimanche Diller First Modern Classics

Dimanche Diller First Modern Classics Kısa Özet

New edition of the Smarties-Prize-winning story of escape and adventure, with wicked guardians, evil plots and a lively young female heroine. Now published into the First Modern Classics list, fantastic stories for young readers.

When Dimanche is orphaned at the tender age of one, Chief Inspector Barry Bullpit advertises for any known relative to come forward. Unluckily for Dimanche, her real aunt does not see the message, but an evil money-grabbing imposter does. Dimanche, heir to an enormous fortune, is sent to live with the dreaded Valburga Vilemile, who tries to rid herself of Dimanche at every opportunity. But her lack of success is partly due to Dimanche`s wits and courage, and partly to Polly Pugh, Dimanche`s young and pretty nanny, who foils all Valpurga`s attempts and helps Dimanche find long-term happiness with her real aunt.

All the ingredients for a brilliant, attention-grabbing shorter novel are here; evil plots, kidnapping, wicked villains and gorgous heroines. Every chapter makes you want to shout `Look behind you` or `Oh no she doesn`t` at almost every page turn.
