summary of penny pollards letters
Answers
Penny Pollard is a fictional 12 year old Australian girl. She’s horse mad, feisty, tomboyish, and independent. She’s quite unusual too. Penny does things differently from everyone else and sometimes that gets her into trouble. For example, she had a secret pet rat who died, so she put it in the freezer to await for burial when she returns on holiday.
Penny doesn’t like staying with her aunt Winifred, a former music teacher who wants Penny to have an interest in classical music which Penny finds boring.
Penny is a wild child who fidgets and gets up to mischief so it’s not that fun for Winifred to have Penny stay over. Penny finds staying at her aunt’s house boring because there isn’t much to do. There are two little kids next door who only have interests in preschool stuff like playing dress ups.
Penny also meets another 12 year old named Alistair who at first she thinks is a “four eyes nerd” but later grows to respect and like him. She also comes to terms with getting a new brother or sister.
