Sommer auf dem Land! Die Geschwister Gadsby verbringen die Ferien bei Grandma, nur Baby Pumpkin ist bei Mum in London geblieben. Nun machen die Geschwister auf Fahrrädern und Ponys die Gegend unsicher, schwimmen, lernen neue Jungs kennen und Bluebell verliebt sich sogar (in den Falschen). Doch dann nimmt der Sommer eine ernste Wendung: Grandma wird immer tüdeliger und kann bald nicht mehr allein in ihrem abgelegenen Haus leben. Sollen sie etwa das Cottage verkaufen? Das kommt für die Gadsbys nicht in Frage!

The third heartfelt installment in this beautifully-crafted, sassy new series that will make you laugh and cry. It's hard being the normal one in such a crazy family. Bluebell, Twig and Jas have been sent to stay with Grandma for the summer. The countryside is how Bluebell remembers it - full of fun and adventure. But this year, it feels different somehow. There is sobbing and shouting. There are cantering horses and night-time dares. Confusing boys and grandmas to look after. But there is also laughter and more than this, there is love - and that's what being a family is all about.

Vorwort
The funny, moving and heartfelt family saga continues in the third instalment in Bluebell Gadsby's diaries.

With Grandma keen that the children get as much fresh air as possible, they are sent off on bikes to go wild swimming and befriend the boys next door. With so much freedom, they can't help but get into trouble, and Grandma doesn't seem to be as capable as looking after them as she should be...
