Its secret is woven into two stories, one past, one present, told side by side. The first tells how 1940s evacuee Tony and his friend Alice befriend a fascinating old lady in the Lake District who introduces them to the countryside and draws Alice's portrait. In the second, teenage Mallie takes a part-time job in a pet shop, buys her artist mother a dusty old picture as a birthday present, and tries her best to engineer a romance between her new boss and her mother, aided by her feisty friend Jamila. Everything goes wrong... but the picture has a power of its own and pulls both stories together - in front of TV cameras - in a jaw-dropping climax. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 210). 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Children $z Great Britain $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Evacuation of civilians $z Great Britain $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Pet shops $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Lake District (England) $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Children's stories. 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20150911030652.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5AED8FB6F33111E1B83CAE7F6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b FQ5Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
