Primrose Squarp - the invincible heroine of the Newbery Honor Book Everything on a Waffle - returns for another adventure-filled year in Coal Harbor.
Her parents, once lost at sea, are safe at home, just as she always believed they would be. But now other people and places that Primrose loves are in precarious circumstances. For one thing, Uncle Jack and Miss Bowzer can't - or won't - connect, no matter how hard Primrose tries to move their romance along. There's also the logging of Mendolay Mountain, which threatens the woods Primrose has always known.
