The Sugar and Spice

by Mollie Chappell

A little teashop in a quaint street in a little country town threatens to have to close down for the want of the right sort of supervision and management. It seems a preposterous idea, but it takes root, and soon the girls - Starr, Sara and Betsy - have decided that, with Aunt Belle assisting in the background they can take over the teashop in their summer holidays. What sort of success they make of it and what difference their arrival makes to the whole of Cat and Cradle Street, is the theme of the latest of Mollie Chappell's books. Written in her own refreshing, very individual style, and peopled with lively, attractive, modern girl characters, it is a book girls will like.
