Not unlike another beloved red-haired Canadian heroine, Primrose whose own hair is "the color of carrots in an apricot glaze (recipe to follow)" attracts trouble like a magnet. Meanwhile, she is shuffled from the custody of her elderly neighbor Miss Perfidy to her likable but somewhat feckless Uncle Jack. "Haven't you ever just known something deep in your heart without reason?" she demands of all and sundry, convinced her parents are still alive.
Eleven-year-old Primrose Squarp refuses to attend the memorial service for her parents after they disappear at sea. Horvath (The Trolls) delivers another hilariously puckish read with this tale of a (possibly) orphaned girl from a small Canadian fishing village.
