Hi, my name is Julie and I'm ten. My parents got divorced recently and now Dad, Ela and I have a new family… With my aunt, Jakub and Vítek. To make matters worse, we've moved to a village, which is completely different from living in Prague. There are no shopping centres or selective schools here at all. And the girls in this village? They have no clue! What’s more, my life is really complicated by all sorts of grown-up words I don't understand. I also really miss my mum, who's been enchanted. Luckily, I have a secret plan to handle all of this. That is, as long as a chipmunk doesn't get involved and we can find a dummy. I can't wait to tell you all about it.
