Poor Aunt Miranda and Aunt Jane. When they kindly agreed to take in the ten-year old daughter of a poor relation they never expected.... Rebecca. Irrepressible and opinionated, Rebecca bursts into town like a bull in a china shop. The aunts do their best to turn Rebecca into a proper lady, but it may be easier to tame a wild horse! Rebecca has a mind very much her own and she has a real talent for mischief. She practically turns the sleepy town of Riverborou upside down. And happily, no one would have it any other way. One thing about Rebecca whenever and wherever she turns up, adventure is sure to follow.
