Résumé du livre
The year is 1809.
Daisie Moon, a doll who can walk, talk, and think for herself, travels to a farm in Massachusetts to live with twelve-year-old Annie O and the Smith Family. What Daisie doesn't know is that Annie O's father plans to send his daughter off to work at a far-away cotton mill. The family needs the money, so Annie O sets out to work with Daisie in her bag.
Annie O works long hours at the mill. The overseer is mean and the work hours are long. Annie O tries to make friends with the girls who work in the Spinning Room. Mostly they run off and ignore her. Her only friend, besides Daisie, is a dog she names Baby.
When Annie O meets the famous Dolley Madison, everything changes! Annie O becomes so popular that the girls start a fan club in her name.
At first, Daisie is lonely at the mill so she wanders the halls while Annie O is working. What she doesn't know is that Fern, the girl from the forest, plans to steal her away.
This is the 2nd book in the Daisie Moon Adventure Books series.
