A home for wayward girls is hosted by the self absorbed Miss
Maisie. Miss Maisie may also be
intellectually challenged. Audacity
appears to be the only "true" orphan in Miss Maisie's care. Audacity is pulled into political intrigue
by the mysterious Commodore Crutchfield.
Audacity is a remarkably precocious young lady for eleven
years old. She is truly close only to
Miniver, Min for short, her companion who happens to be a cat. Min is not just a sidebar, Min claims a full
role for her self in this age appropriate action adventure.
Audacity is no one's fool and the Commodore finds this out
to his dismay. I liked the miniature
lesson in basic economics and the impact the automobile has on the fortunes of
those committed to horses.
This is a book that should capture a youngster's
imagination, particularly if said youngster is a pre-teen girl who loves
cats. Min has a substantial role.
This is book one of a series I am sure my own granddaughter
will enjoy.
I recommend it.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
