(3) K-3 To support her "hard-up" family, Daisy Dobbs must leave school to work as a scullery maid. Homesick and ill-suited to domestic work, young Daisy struggles in her new life. When a fire breaks out and Daisy's quick thinking saves her employers' home, she's rewarded with a new opportunity. Hughes's evocative ink, gouache, and watercolor art enriches the simple story set in early-twentieth-century England.
