When the girl’s parents buy forty acres up Mount Tiger, Wendy finds herself plunged into a hut in the bush among the possums and rats.

Readers of the little house on the Prairie series will adore the hilarious antics of this twentieth-century New Zealand family. Based on Wendy’s childhood, these adventures are sure to become a well-loved classic in every family bookshelf.
