Birdie
Birdie is such a breath of fresh air, a passionate and optimistic child blown into many people's lives, and an innocent surrounded by prejudice and judgement. Of course, everything does catch up with her and then a different sort of adventure with a downtrodden pit pony begins. I could not put the book down. Birdie has a positive impact on everyone about her and this is a delightful story through which real life issues of 1950s Britain are tackled.
