How the children don’t lose courage, but deal with flooding, food shortages and a near death-by-drowning makes for an entertaining as well as warm-hearted read. I thoroughly enjoyed following the adventures of siblings Lincoln, Miranda and Pinks Ridley, who are accidentally separated from their parents and have to fend for themselves in a country cottage hired for Christmas, as treacherous flood waters rise all around them. ![]() Baker, an old Puffin paperback children’s book that I’d been meaning to pick up for ages. ![]() Over the winter holidays, I read Castaway Christmas by Margaret J. ![]()
