Unknown to Sky, Rainbow Warrior receives and keeps yearly letters from Rosalind with Sky's school picture. Sky's letter was sent to the wrong address. Sky is interested in art and likes Alice Greaves but is too shy to talk to her, especially because she has two rather intimidating looking friends, a girl with tiger-striped hair and the school fencing champion.
