Books like Little girl lost by Val Wood
Margriet grew up alone in the old town of Hull. Her father, frequently away at sea, rarely returned, and her mother’s indifference left her with only her vivid fantasies of a Dutch girl. When tragedy strikes and the father's ship capsizes in a storm, Margriet’s family is devastated. Years later, as she matures into a kind-hearted young lady, Margriet longs to escape her mother’s overbearing presence and forge her own path. She allies with a group of street children roaming the town and, spurred by compassion, commits herself to helping them. Will the lingering trauma of her past derail her newfound spirit, or will she find strength and resilience in her friendships?
