Mardie

"Mardie and her small sister Lisbet, live in a big red house by a river, and they find themselves, all too frequently, in funny and sometimes precarious situations : like the day Lisbet gets a pea stuck in her nose and on the way to the doctor, Mardie and Lisbet get into a fight with two very rude and tough sisters ; or the day Mardie decides to parachute from the woodshed roof with an umbrella ; and the time a "boy called Richard" at her school gets so conveniently blamed for all her accidents and madcap behaviour!"--Publisher description.
