(4) 4-6 Dilly's mother died six years earlier, and twelve-year-old Dilly still feels angry at her mother. While Dilly searches for a misplaced letter Mummie wrote to her before her death, Dilly finally comes to terms with her grief and learns to forgive her mother for dying. The prose can be flowery and the letter, when found, is anticlimactic, but the characters are believable and the narrative is satisfyingly resolved.
