description: Mardie is only called Margaret when she has been 'up to something', which happens quite often - even though she tries to be good. Mardie and her small sister, Lisbet, live in a big red house by a river and they find themselves, all too frequently, in funny and sometimes precarious situations: like the day Lisbet gets a pea stuck in her nose and on the way to the doctor, Mardie and lisbet get in a fight with two very rude and tough sisters; or the day Mardie decides to parachute from the woodshed roof with an umbrella; and the time a "boy called Richard" at her school, gets so conveniently blamed for all her accidents and madcap behaviour!
