by JeanUre (Author)
A humorous and heart-warming story about a little sister, a big sister, a cat, a dad and... a new girlfriend!
Bitsy, or `Jelly Baby' as she's sometimes called, has been doing just fine living with Dad and big sister Em since Mum died. The housework may not always get done, and dinners might not always be at the table, but none of them ever minded!
Until one day Dad brings home a girlfriend - and everything changes. Now it looks like it might be down to the Jelly Baby of the family to keep it from falling apart...
