Alice-Miranda On Vacation (2012)
“She squeezed her tightly and immediately invited her and Jacinta to sit down and color. Lily called Jasper to come down from his room four times before he finally emerged, dragging his feet.
“Muuum, I was in the middle of a battle,” he protested. Then he caught sight of Alice-Miranda.
“You’re back!” Jasper exclaimed as he rushed to give Alice-Miranda an enthusiastic hug. Spying Jacinta at the table beside his sister, he quickly let go and turned a very bright shade of pink.
“You didn’t tell me ...we had guests,” he whispered to Lily, who was getting some drinks organized.
“You didn’t ask,” she replied. “And Alice-Miranda is hardly a guest, darling.”
“You know what I mean, Mum.”
Alice-Miranda introduced her friend. “This is Jacinta Headlington-Bear. She’s staying with us for the holidays.”
“Hello.” Jasper looked up shyly. “It’s nice to meet you.”
Jacinta hadn’t met many boys, but Jasper seemed the politest one she had ever encountered. He was certainly the opposite of that other horrid boy.MoreLess
