Synopsis

'When the wildlife park near us closed down I bought a moose for Granny. She tried hard not to show it, but she was really pleased. I could tell.' Annie's not your ordinary heroine. She's quirkier, kinder, knows better...and always gets things wrong. Luckily her gran's normally there to bail her out - just as well, really, because Mum tends to be off tackling mountains, while Dad's sculpting skyscrapers out of carrots. So whether Annie's buying anteaters for her in-laws, baking birthday surprises for the circus family next door or doing the laundry...in Lapland, you're guaranteed an adventure! Annie is a cracking new character whose stories of everyday events, though rooted in reality, will take you on some fantastic flights of fancy. As hilarious as Horrid Henry - just a little less wicked!
