Bookroo's summary
After her mother's death, young Inge Maria moves to her grandmother's farm on Bornholm. With a heart full of whimsy, she tries to bring joy to her seemingly stern grandmother through playful antics and enchanting tales. As Inge navigates her new life, she discovers the power of love, laughter, and the magic hidden in everyday mischief. Will her efforts bridge the gap between them and heal their hearts?
From the publisher
“[A] heartwarming and richly engaging tale.” –Kirkus Reviews, starred review When Inge Maria Jensen’s mother dies, the ten-year-old girl in braids is sent from Copenhagen to live on her grandmother’s farm on the Danish island of Bornholm. The whimsical Inge is desperate to tease a smile out of her stern-seeming but “jelly-soft” grandmother with nonsensical songs and Hans Christian Andersen stories. A nostalgic nod to Pippi Longstocking and Heidi, this cozy, humorous novel explores love and loss . . . and the unsung magic of mischief.
